You'll be able to pour off that liquid for a nice batch of mordant, I figure. How about some rusty nails to toss in? Even something like an old screwdriver from the thrift store might work ... would speed up/add to the process.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-21634820539104797132013-06-23T09:19:00.332-07:002013-06-23T09:19:00.332-07:00Just been given an old rusty iron pot.

Have no bolts to chuck in but this should release some mordant. As far as that "oil slick" on the water, I would have tossed it as well...Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305881181604750937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-37056938930865835672013-06-22T06:57:08.437-07:002013-06-22T06:57:08.437-07:00Not sure what happened, V, I rarely forget about &...Not sure what happened, V, I rarely forget about "work in progress" but I'm guessing it's because the metal was new ... sort of like forgetting that I even bought it. No harm done, at least, and I've learned something which is very valuable.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-63205460695416234432013-06-22T06:46:34.739-07:002013-06-22T06:46:34.739-07:00ooooh, narrow & deep - that's a perfect si...ooooh, narrow & deep - that's a perfect size for some LONG bolts.
