I dissolved iron filings in the acid. Was there chromium in the iron? I don't know. Best I remember it was filings from cold rolled steel. I went by the original formula the best I knew how. Others told me they have had the same results, with the green tint coming later.


There are a lot better "traditional type" stains out there to use for m/ls.............like Homer Dangler's.
