it was the "black oxide" kit...

and i sure did.. works great, especially with ambient temp over 70....

looks very close to the hotwater rust blue in finish, and about 1/5 the work, after you clean/polish/degrease (which you have to do in both)

If this is the free sample kit you are talking about, they emailed me with a "we aren't doing this anymore, our kits are for commercial use" even though I referenced the offer on the site. Win a few lose a few, guess they had too many responses from us.

i wound up buying the one from caswell... and then epi FINALLY set the test kit...

if you realize it aint rust, hot, or stinky cold blue, it works fine

Cal30,
the free black oxide kit was to have been from http://www.black-oxide.com, made by epi, or http://www.epi.com. and the one i bought from caswell would be from http://www.caswellplating.com/

a quick search for "black oxide" would give you all the details
