I had a question regarding patination through rusting... can the rusting process be accelerated safely by chlorine? I ask because I'd like to use this process with two new tsuba blanks, and recall a rusting accident last year involving a chisel left inside a bucket of chorine tablets last year (don't ask) and the immediate, alarming way the chisel rusted in a day or two... it was literally blooming with rust. Has anyone got any experience with this idea, pro or con?

Uh, why do you want to rust it?

usually any rapid oxidisation will be uneven and very aggressive.If you can slow it down I cant see why it wouldnt work.

Sept, I'm going for a 'ninhonto' feel for the next two swords I customize.
Ronin, the consensus is that slow is the way to go, to get the look I desire... even a hydrogen peroxide or chlorine bleach dilution should do it. Hope to get a few minutes to test these ideas today.

Take a look at the Metal finishing information on my website. We had a thread going about this subject in the "customization" forum under the topic "tsuba painting".
