All you Millers patent folks, JAX brown question.. *LINK*

Scott Burr in Ben Lomond, CA

>OK, Anybody use this stuff yet? Mine arrived today and I'm very curious if anybody played with this stuff yet.

I'll be the Guinea Pig if necessary, but I�d love to hear from the collective.

Seems pretty simple and toxicity seems like playing with lie. It contains Selenious Acid a salt based acid for those who don�t know.

BTW the 1 pint bottle is way more than I�ll need so if anyone is thinking about buying some perhaps we can share this bottle, because when I�m done with it I won�t need the rest. It needs to be ground shipped just so you know. Took a week to get here form NY.

>Hi Scott,

Sorry...no help here. I didn't use anything. Left it as was after filing/sanding/cleaning.

Take care, Mike

I am eager for you to experiment

>because I kinda like mine the way it is. This patina stuff really has to be good to beat the natural bronze look.

I was wondering about that myself, Jim

>... but then I noticed that one of the parts of my plane -- the little yoke casting that is pinned to the main plane body -- looks really nice with a dark brownish black grime from my buffing wheel in all the low spots. (That was the only part that I tried buffing.) With the JAX, my understanding is tht you need to hit all the high spots afterward to bring them back up to a satin brightness.

What fun.

>Here's mine without JAX.

I think over time, it will look even better. This picture is with low-light so that makes it a bit more dark overall.


Take care, Mike

Well , Ive been playing with the JAX...

>To each his own but, I like the look of it. It's very east to adjust the darkenss of it by tne number of coats you brush on or how long you soak it, depending on the methode you apply it. I need to get the pic off my camera, then you'll get a good idea compared to everyone's that's gone another route.
