Black Oxide Activator Product does not perform blackening. It is an activator for use before blackening. Certain hardened or specialized steels can prove challenging to blacken with our Black Oxide solution, only blackening to a grey color. Our Black Oxide Activator enhances the color and depth of the blackened finish on these alloys. Mix One Part Activator With Nine Parts Distilled Water in a plastic container. Immerse cleaned steel parts in the activator for 2-5 minutes, rinse, then proceed to blackening. Can be used at room temperature or heated to 120 deg F for an even greater activating effect. For Steel Parts Only - Not Stainless Steel or Iron.

Didn’t work
Didn’t work as I needed, only grayed parts. Customer service was great, they refunded the purchase.

Not a quality product
Doesn't work on very many metals. Also the finish will not stay on the metal without a clear coat. Tried it on d2, and 1095 cold and heated and still didn't work. Not impressed at all. Don't waste your money
