Charred Wood Accelerator Review

Review and demo of Varathane's Charred Wood Accelerator
Doing this to a couple drill bits as a watch asban experiment. A flathead and a 1/4" hex to 1/2" socket bit. Ill tell you if you have any cuts on your hands that vinegar will sting lol. And it leaves a kind of mucas layer behin. I know you may thing that is funny but it snot.
Thanks for this! I am making a base for a bourbon bottle lamp, and want to simulate the char of a bourbon barrel. I was going to try to burn the wood and compare it to this stain, but now I don't have to!
You seem like a very smart man. Why in the world do you have highly flammable and potentially explosive acetone sitting on top of a heated stove?!?!?
Good observation. Yeah, don't try that at home. Definitely not a good idea and makes a bad image. I'm pretty sure it was there only briefly for the video. Good thing the stove only get hot where those round circles are on the stove. I guess I should have been more worried about that rather than the explosion happening if I had dropped one of those metal pieces and craked my wife's glass cooktop.
Awesome man thank you
Two years later how is the finish? And are you still married?😂🤣😂
Haha, yes, still married, but only because I didn't do that in the kitchen again. Finish still good as it came out back then.
I was cleaning some rusted bolts and nuts with muriatic acid. I think it was a 31% solution available at hardware store. And it was diluted even more with water. Being curious I left some parts in the tub for an extended acid bath. They ended up pickling. Surprised for sure.
Great Video. Thanks for posting this/sharing. I've been looking for a DIY alternative to Caswell's black oxide kit - I want to blacken several truss plates to look a piece of wrought iron plate and I knew there had to be a simple 'at-home' method. I know I could also heat the pieces and dip them in used motor oil but that gets messy and I don't want to be dumping used motor oil all over my driveway.
Im curious about the mixing of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide comment. Almost all the info ive found on rust bluing they mix all 3 together
I am not a chemist so I err on the side of caution. Don't mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar together in the same mixture. This can create peracetic acid, which may be toxic and can irritate your throat and lungs, eyes and skin. If outdoors with good ventilation and with a good acid gas filter mask, it might be ok.
@@yourboard5506 It creates Peracetic acid which is simply stronger than Acetic acid - most of the cautions you see about that acid are related to high volumes of exposure.
So i should add the vingar to the salt and peroxide? Im mixing like an 1/8 a cup for a couple hex bits. edit: i mixed in the vinegar to the h202 and salt. It works. One thing to know. Light kills peroxide. Specificaly uv light. That's why it comes in a dark brown bottle so keep in it a dark spot. Thanks for the video bro.
This is rust bluing.
If interested, go to my channel's about page and find my email and send a request for the plans.
I'd love to share the plans. Can anyone suggest the best way to do that?
Can they be attached to an email as pdf?
@@gregerlindstrand1665 yes, if I had the email address I could send a pdf.
Thanks,I want solution to black oxidation of tin plated parts
U JUMP ROUND LIKE A JERKY MOTION....SLOW DOWN....MAKE VID SMOOTHER...LIKE UR JUMPING IN JUMPING OUT/ERRATIC.... T-H-I-N-K BOUT WHAT UR DOING
TOWARD END OF VID,,,,,YOUR JUMPING ALLLL OVER THE PLACE........W.T.F.?
I'll bring this up with my producer, thanks.
I too am intressted in the plans. Do you have them in metric units?
Plans are available now. Not sure what they are worth. I'm not trying to get rich. If you are interested still, let me know what you think. Only in English units. 1 in. = 25.4 mm.

I'd also love to buy the plans for this workbench when they're available.
Having to update the plans slightly to match reality. . Still working on it but should get them done soon.

I'd also like to see the plans. the bench I made isn't anywhere as functional as yours. I like the idea of having my saws build in.
I'll see if I can finalize them this weekend. they are made for ryobi and dwalt that you see so if your saws are different they may need a tweak.

In the firearm world its called slow rust bluing. One of the best ways to do a firearm because you are making it rust and leaving nothing more to rust, only thing that the firearm is harmed by is a politician. FYI, it's not that your solution wasn't working anymore, it's the rust time, that's why we call it slow rust bluing. Fabulous job btw....
LOL
Are thos steel pipes not galvanised?
Black pipe. Not Galvanized.
Awesome job! Do you have the plans? I don't mind paying for it. Thank you.
Glad you like it. I do have the plans but I should double check some things first. I may have made some on the fly changes. Are you in a hurry?
I’d also buy these plans from you!
@@yourboard5506 I also would like to buy a set of plans too!

Good Video! Didn't intend on finding this at all but you make it look simple and easy.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing!
Why such a huge brush?
You blew the dust right into the open can!
some things cry out for a toothbrush... others for a dip process. Guess which one this should be? :) Seriously, peracetic acid can be nasty to inhale, but organic peroxides will explode.... do not mix acetone with hydrogen peroxide.... the term "mother of satan" is worth looking up on wiki :)
The accelerator looks faster and easier to use and yields very similar results. We just used 7 cans of this for the exposed eave boards on our house. It turned out awesome.
How did it hold up on outdoor exposure
@@TOBY-up4ie It looks great. We also sealed over it with a good polymerizing oil.
Ha, my wife would freak if I did something like this in the kitchen.
And so did mine. But after the fact. I was well into it before the smell got her attention.
so what we see and buy from a black oxide solution is just a hydrogen peroxide with salt?
Commercial black oxide concentrate is more than this. It's typically a mixture of phosphoric and other acids that corrode much faster.
Just what I was looking for 😬
If you have an electric blanket for that first night to put over it, it will increase the build-up of strength drastically
I sincerely appreciate your video! Lol I bought it 🙃 with no clue how it will look, but wanted to make sure I see it in use before trying to do it myself! Because everything is getting more expensive everyday BuUuUuUt hey on fourth of July😉 hotdogs were a whole ¢16 cheaper SoOoOoOoO there's THAT! But seriously thanks for the video ✌️
Glad it was of some help.
How long it goes
It takes at least an hour to get through all the steps, prep and cleanup. Longer the more pieces you have. Would much faster if we had bigger pans and a basket to transfer all parts at one time.
He is obviously not married. I would have to do this outside or in the garage.
My second batch was outside on the camp stove and I still got complaints about the smell. Best to do it outside and don't open the door :)
It not about married
Thank you! I was so curious how it would turn out!
The "black" that is on the pipes is a varnish that is used to keep them from rusting on their trip from china. They won't oxide/rust until you remove this coating. You need to use a paint thinner to dissolve the varnish. Acetone will not remove varnish. I am a pipefitter of 38 years in the trade.
Thanks for clearing up the varnish question. Some had it and some didn't. For indoor use I'm good with the varnish.
Thumbing up. It's better to try to use something like kerosene I think.
Can you write the inggridient for this project
Degreaser: TSP and / or Acetone Pickling: 6% white vinegar Oxidizer: hydrogen peroxide + small amount of salt. Boiling water. Alternate between oxidizer and boiling water several times. Remember not to mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide
@@yourboard5506 What % is the hydrogen peroxide? Thanks.
@@platinummind1697 3% is the typical household hydrogen peroxide. That is what I used.
@@yourboard5506not positive the boiling is necessary. I remember bluing guns with tap water in the bathtub.
Did you sand before you applied the stain to the second side? I didn't see you do it in the video. I just bought 3 cans of this stuff and tried it out. Very big difference between sanded or not sanded wood. If you didn't sand it then thats why the wood turned out so light with only 1 coat. I found the difference very dramatic on the pine I tried it on. Thanks for the video though dude!
We bought this and I'm going to apply to ash wood. I like the first finish in the review, as I find the black too dark. How did you find the stain looked after sanding? I sanded and would lightly sand between. What did you do amd what cokour did you get?
Thank you!😁
Oh my goodness, glad I found your video! 😊 This was extremely helpful. I just purchased that same exact charred accelerator and was very curious how it would turn out. I must say that the actual charred piece looks absolutely beautiful!! But I can’t see myself working with that torch on a console table. The accelerator is a real good method I think and will achieve the look I’m looking for with the two coats or maybe even three.
Awesome review, good job. I noticed this in the store while picking up more of the aged stain that I've used alot of. I've never tried the lacquer because I get good results with polycrylic sanding between coats that is. After watching you spray that lacquer I'm going to have to give it a try. Save me some time ha. Thanks again for a great review
Thanks for posting this review. You're literally the only person who has. And so freaking in-depth... wow! I'm knocking out projects during the Corona Lockdown. This really helps my buying decision. Stay safe and all the best to you and your family.
The matte black and the charred wood always look good together. I've built a few things for the kitchen and the dining room with the charred finish and it never gets old for me. I'll most likely use it to build a "boho" style desk for me too
can you use wax over this/ or have you tried >?
Never tried wax but don't see why not.
I may have missed it but how long did you leave on each coat? I just bought this maybe I should do a review lol I'm applying it over a chalk paint wash. Also have absolutely no clue what I'm doing 🙃🙃 thank you for your review!
Hope it went well. I actually don't remember but at least 24 hrs before the lacquer and an hour or so between lacquer coats. How did this do over the chalk wash?
Thanks for doing this comparison.
