Bill Brockway---,
I noticed your posts re: Laurel Mountain etc. When you and I were taking the Muzzleloading Courses at Western Kentucky Univ, you may remember the beautiful barrel that Mark Silver browned was using Mark Lees browning solution. I have not used it,as I use Dr. Gaddy's or something similar. Lees does not have inorganic chlorides either,I understand.I use 10% Ferric Chloride soln and it works fine. I have also been using Logwood to get a darker color.
