Default Case Hardening

It looks like Kasenit is now impossible to find (unless someone knows
different).
Any ideas what the stuff (Eternite) that Chronos sells is like, or are
there other suggestions.
Neither do I want 1kg of the stuff!

TIA
Kevin

Wait a bit!

I spoke to the guy at the shop.
He admitted it wasn't your actual Kasenit!
I did, however order a pack.
As soon as I get it i've got a few bits to try and I'll let you know how they turn out.

It isn't the same composition. I found it far harder to get the gunge
to stick on the red hot steel. Original Kasenit would stick nicely if
you got the metal cherry red, dipped it in the tin, then, having
withdrawn, continued heating until you has a glutenous fluid coating
all over. The new stuff tend to blow away - works ok though if you tin
bake it

You won't get the original formula any more (unless someone has a
stash somewhere) as it contained cyanide amongst other materials. Good
old H&S strikes again ;-)

The rule of thumb Tony is that 'if it works - ban it' !

Try www.brownells.com for Kasenit in 1lb(US) tin.

Cyanide? or potassium hexacyanoferrate, which is about as dangerous as sodium
bicarb.
