Not sure if this is the right place to ask but need some help. I've made a 'sculpture' from 1.5mm steel and wanted it to rust....I usually use a mix of ammonium chloride and wait a while........
Being an impatient **** I went on line and read something about using vinegar to 'pickle' the metal.
Silly old me has used the wife's malt vinegar and now the metal has gone a mix of colours but mostly black and yuk!! I think I will need to sandblast it back to bare but it's so thin I don't want to end up with nothing!!
Can anyone on The Wirral or close by help for some beer tokens...or advise taken what to do next.....it's only small but I've put a lot of time and effort into it.
