At one time I had some Kasinite, but since moving from Indiana to Northern NY State, I have no idea where it got to.

I only need a few ounces for doing screw heads and would gladly pay a few $$$ + shipping if anyone has any.

Kasinite has not been made in a number of years now.

I had to start using Cherry Red, same as Kasinite, but do not enhale the smoke, will make your sinus's run.

What the heck is it and what do you use it for?

It is a powder that imparts carbon into steel, so you can harden it. You heat the steel red/orange and dip it into the powder; it will stick to the steel. Heat again and it will melt onto the steel; quench in water and presto; the surface will be very hard. You can't harden steel without carbon in it.

Why are we re-inventing the wheel here ? All those old rifles like Mausers were made of low carbon steel which was then carburized so that the surface could be hardened .
Kasenite and others were a source of carbon and other things like Barium carbonate to help the diffusion of the carbon.
So receivers were case hardened ,lock work on things like S&W revolvers were case hardened .
Today things like Glocks are case hardened using carbon and nitrogen .

Hey thanks, that's what I am looking for, a small quantity.

Everyone else sells it by the pound and with shipping it will run me $40. I wouldn't use a pound in my lifetime.
