Listers,
I'm in the process of metal etching a frame prior to painting and am
wondering about what I should expect to see afterwards. Right now
I've done about have the frame and the finish is interesting to say
the least. I was led to believe after reading the directions that
the surface would turn a light gray in color. What I'm experiencing
is a lot of light gray but mixed in with that is a rusty looking
color that almost looks like a stain. The frame has just been sand
blasted so I'm fairlyl confident that there is no rust anywhere.
This stain comes in streaks and splotches and I can't seem to figure
out what is causing it, or if its normal. I've followed the
directions on the container, brush on, wait at least three minutes,
wipe the excess off witha damp cloth and then wipe dry with dry rags.
How about it, can any body explain these results?
TIA
