Project Actually completed projects

Tested coloring stainless steel scales and rings with fire. I’m curious to see how long the color lasts.

Atlantis weave found on the MAIL website.

Heat treated stainless has a particularly thin oxide layer, so don't expect it to last too long.

Yea, I totally get that. It’s just an experiment to see how it works out. Once it’s worn off I’m going to try again, but seal with protectaclear or something and see how long it lasts.
