  • This product creates a chemical reaction with the surface of the metal to produce a dark, black antique finish on Aluminum

Instructions for use:

  • In order for this blackener to work, you need to break through the top "skin" (think of it like a layer of aluminum oxides) of the metal. Stamping usually does this or you can buff the surface with steel wool or fine sand paper.
  • Apply the solution to metal with a brush or Q-tip.
  • When desired color is achieved, rinse the brush and metal piece in a baking soda bath (approx. 1 part baking soda to 10 parts water).
  • If you prefer to dip your metal into the solution, use a small plastic container with a lid. Pour some of the solution into the container, dip your metal until you get the desired effect. Remove the metal and wash it in the baking soda bath. Leave the solution in the new plastic container (don't pour it back into the original packaging) and label it appropriately.
  • Dry and polish your metal using your polishing method of choice (Pro Polish Pads, Steel Wool etc).
  • When you dispose of used JAX products, do so in an approved waste disposal facility.
