| If you're gonna use it for making inletting black, by the time you get it mixed with oil (or whatever) you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. |

| How about black concrete pigment? Some brands are made of carbon black, some brands are iron oxide.
Disclaimer: I've only used this for coloring concrete, but it seems like it would work like lampblack. |

| You can use a real lamp, too, or an acetylene torch. Neither particularly handy.  Didn't Brownells sell a miner's lamp and carbide to black sights at one time? |

| I use a jewelers alcohol lamp filled with Tikki Torch fuel. Great smoke, cheap and easys to use plus it keeps the bugs out in the summer.

Aniline dyes are in candy, medication, artificially colored drinks, and an uncountable variety of foods .....nevermind cosmetics and anything you can imagine consumed by or applied to our bodies. Do you think there are any reasons for the skyrocketing (but unheralded) incidence of cancers?! There is truly....no place to hide. |
