How is the mount with magnets working out? Any issues?
@@turbo7680 No issues at all. We even got through Hurricane Beryl and it didn't move an inch.
Thank you for the video! We just ordered the magnets. This is perfect for what we need.
@user-yp5iy7yn7m yup. If you run into any issues let me know.
THANK YOU
@darryljohnson185 you're most welcome
@JimmyWalters my thoughts was to keep someone from being able to unbolt it and steal it. At least this way they have to break it open. I did think about flipping them though.
Was there a reason you didn’t install it the opposite way to not have the u bolt sticking through?
Great video btw ty
@JimmyWalters Thanks. I try to keep them short and to the point. If I get long winded in the future. Feel free to call me out.
Bro! Where are the washers!! :-)
Only the Euro model gets washers.
@bumblebvr6
if you use a grinder dont be a tard and wear gloves, unless you dont want your hands anymore, then you can wear gloves. If you make videos like this dont be an idiot and advise people to do stupid shit like wearing gloves, they might try and come after you because you told them to.
Hey, do you think it also works with 1.69 inch neodymium magnet?
@thiagodias567 just one? Or 4? Do you have a link to the magnet? 1.69 sounds like it may be too small. But if you already have them it's worth a try.
No, I would use 4 like you did, just to keep the Starlink on the roof of my RV against the winds while the RV is parked. The store says that the 1.69 magnet promises to hold 8kg each. @@txfatmarine4583
Quick, to the point, and concise. I love it. But that's just a patina like you get from seasoning a cast iron pan. There's no actual oxide involved here. Is this the same process that is used commercially to produce "black oxide" parts?
@captainotto Thanks for the comment. I don't know how it's done commercially. This is how I do it. It seems to hold up. I've left a bolt out on an outside work table and it still looks the same. It's been sitting for about a month so not exactly a torture test. All the other parts I've done are in mostly protected conditions. One of the people that commented mentioned he had a client with a commercial buisness black oxide coating parts. He said he would show the vid to his client. Hopefully he will post an update.
Thanks mate 🎉
@devinjunga2716 hope it helped.
Finally someone who can produce a quick consise informative video. I'm so sick of people full of their own shit spending 30+ minuets babbling on how to do something which in reality takes 2 minuets. Well done you. Likes and subscribed. Way to go fella.
Thanks @aussiefarmer8741
I'm a handyman and one of my customers made his fortune by starting and running a black oxide coating company. I'll have to ask him about this and if he has any recommendations for improving the method. At any rate. Thanks for the great info!
@itchykneeson I'd like that feedback from an actual pro.
Rusty bolts/parts, just boil or steam them for about 20 min then card them, after that soak in kerosene overnight, done. Same finish as a gun barrel
What's card them? @independentthinker8930
@@txfatmarine4583 it's done several ways, fine still wool rubbing it is a common way, gunsmith get an exceptionally soft wire brush to speed it up
Great start. Keep working at it. It will be well worth the hard work.
Just buy new bolts
Lol. I know right.
Short and to the point. Thanks :)
I didn't have to fast forward anything. Just straight info., right to the point. Awesome!!!
@vincentvega5686 first off. Big fan of your name btw. And thanks. I'm trying to keep these things short.
Used motor oil is great. If you do any concrete work, it makes a good release agent for forms. 🤓
I have a small concrete project coming up. You wipe it on with a rag? How do you apply it to the form? And do it right before you pour?
@@txfatmarine4583 For regular 2x4s, you can use a sprayer, but may need to dilute it. I just brush it on with a large inexpensive "chip" brush from hardware store. I have used the same brush over and over.
@@txfatmarine4583 Oh, I brush it on the day before, once forms are set. Best to use screws to reuse your 2x4 forms. 👍
@@Pallidus_Rider that's good info. I'm logging that down.
That's not rust proofing. It'll do next to nothing to prevent rust. You'd be better off applying a bit of paint once they're in place.
Thanks for the short, sweet, informative, no click-bait, no time wasting video!
@scottjenkins4613 Thanks. I like making the videos. But it takes SO much longer to get "a thing" done.
Nice work!!
@bumblebvr6 Thanks Buddy Lee. We need to go back to the track!
I have done this but it is a time-consuming nasty process. I prefer paint because it gives long-term protection.
I'm not sure if that's right. Gun bluing is actually a kind of rust.
Nicely Done! Thank you! So thats actual carbonized, not "stained"? How look will they last, what is the durability like. Great stuff and I alwas like getting dirty with used motor oil. A win - win situation!
Thanks @coldwarvet607. I haven't done a torture test for the durability but I need to. The bolts I coated are all under the hood of an old truck. In the engine bay. They still look exactly the same. I plan to set a couple outside exposed to the sun & rain and see how well they hold up. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
@@txfatmarine4583 Blacksmith here. I do tons of heat treating and rust prevention treating. Its ok if you get your bolts up to cherry red depending on whether they are mild steel or medium to high carbon. Mild steel /Low carbon dont worry about it. Anything more, and it will be good to temper then back down to usable levels. And yet, you can get bolts to yellow (beyond cherry red), or even 5/8" x 2.5" wide thick steel using two propane torches, with one being at least a TS4000. You can do the blackening with used canola oil too (or any veg oil). Just heat to a black heat, quench, do again until you get the coverage you desire.
So, um, not really black oxide. You're bluing them with the heat, so technically there will be an oxide layer on the bolts. But dunking them in oil is burning the oil onto them, and creating a layer of polymers. That's actually a great rust preventative coating. It's just like seasoning a cast iron skillet. Also, I don't know about wearing gloves with a grinder. If that glove gets caught in the grinder, that could be a serious injury. I mean, I wear nitrile gloves, but that hardly counts, they'll just get torn. Will still get wire splinters though. A leather or cloth glove will drag your hand into the machinery and that won't be pretty.
@madmanmapper Thanks for taking the time to comment. And yeah I still mostly don't wear gloves. I just burned the crap out of my hand with a heat gun melting heat shrink. I'm going to try and do better so I can keep doing this stuff as long as possible.
Exactly, gloves have their place, but around moving machinery they are a safety hazard.
Basically the same process to season a cast iron skillet.
Agreed. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
You probably shouldn't use motor oil on a skillet though... ;)
Farmers Cruise control was simply a cable running from the Carb to your dash board, very much like the Choke on a lawn mower. You would put the truck in 1'st gear, pull that knob out and the truck would just slowly move. It allowed farmers to single highhandedly pick up rocks and junk from their field at a walk and not worry about the truck moving to quickly away from you. Easier to catch in case your headed to a tree LOL
@timdeboer8804 Better than the old brick on the gas. Pretty cool. Thanks for the explanation.
This is NOT black oxide all your doing is seasoning the bolt with a coating of carbon much like you do with a frying pan. With Black oxide you convert the surface to Fe3O4 (Black iron oxide) what you're doing is NOT depositing black iron oxide or creating on the surface.
@matthewq4b You maybe right. Maybe not. I googled bluing and black oxide before making the vid so I could try to get the wording correct. I found several processes seem to fall under the "black oxide" banner. I appreciate you taking the time to post. And if my wording does end up being wrong or not the best way to say it. I want to know that so I can correct it.
@@txfatmarine4583 There is no maybe not. What you are doing is NOT black oxide. Also Bluing and Black Oxide are essentially the same thing... Again what you are doing is NOT adding a layer a Black Oxide to the surface simple as that. You are just deasoning the bolt with a coating of carbon and nothing more..
@@matthewq4b We will have to agree to disagree. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I appreciate all the comments.
@@txfatmarine4583 I have been doing bluing and parkerizing for near on 40 years now. You are NOT putting a black oxide coating on the bolts simple as that... Disagree all you want all want, it does not change the fact that you are not putting a black oxide coating on the bolts no matter how hard you want to convince yourself otherwise.
@matthewq4b Again Thanks for the passionate responses. I'm not challenging you or your 40 years of experience. On the contrary. I'd appreciate it if you teach me a better way. I hope you make a video of how you do it and Link me.
I want to know about that Pickup truck. It looks almost exactly like one I had back in the day. Loved that damn thing LOL It was a Straight 6, 3 speed on the tree with the Farmers Cruise control on it! Top speed was a whopping 55 mph, down hill with the wind at my back!
This may be your truck! Lol. It's a straight 6 that someone converted to a floor shift. I'll be making videos as I progress along with the truck. I gotta ask. What's Farmer's cruise control??

@@txfatmarine4583 I think it's a manual choke cable attached to the throttle.

It’s called bluing
I tried salad oil. It worked, but the result looked messy.
Interesting. Why salad oil? Just to see?
@@txfatmarine4583 Yeah, I just wanted to see. It works, you get a black rust proof coating, but it's a messy, uneven surface. I mean, if you have nothing else...
@mikethespike7579 Another comment mentioned heating the object to be coated in the oven. I think I'll try that next time. I think the results will be more easily repeated. I'm curious about the salad oil. I guess it's just to thin of an oil. Or doesn't have enough carbon? I guess you did this with bolts? Have they rusted?
@@txfatmarine4583 It would have to be a really hot oven of course. Not just a kitchen oven. Yeah, an oven will offer you controlled temperatures and repeatable results. I don't know if salad oil is too thin. Someone on UA-cam showed how he coats stuff using WD40. Salad oil has all kinds of other stuff in it, not just oil, that probably mess up the results a bit. But it was an interesting experiment and does give a protective surface. If you have nothing else just use salad oil LOL. Yeah, I just did some nuts and bolts. I had nothing better to do at the time.
@@txfatmarine4583 You asked about salad oil, I made a personal test with it, and with many other REAL type of oil for rust proofing for experiment. That I have at my home. My test was only applying oil (No heating as you done). Then let the tested iron bar with all brand on it outside in my Québec Winter. Result I got, very few trace of rust with salad oil too after the winter on my test bar. This said, like Mikethespike say, messy because this oil become too sticky to my taste with outside water or even humidity but it protected too from rust too, just little less in this test compared to others I made, to give you the result of my test.
Nice Vids, research Hashtags - add search criteria. 😉 use words that match other people doing the same content. The algorithms will find you easier. 🧐💰💰💰
Thanks man. I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. Any tips/help is much appreciated. When I first saw your comment I thought. Man, what is this? Somebody trying to sell me something already? Then I clicked on your @eyespyfocus and I saw a huge CH53E model. I used to work on those in the Marines. Anyway, lol. That CH53 compelled me to write all this. I've been reading the book "Shogun" by James Clavell before this new mini series comes out. They talk about Karma alot in the book. You have good Karma my friend. Good timing.
Your actually hardining the steel heating and cooling them in oil
Wrong , he is not heating it up that hot
It is the same as seasoning a cast iron skillet the coating will not last very long in the elements though...
This will not last and will rust on first sight of moisture.
@cryptotron Maybe. Maybe not. The bolts I used are in an engine bay. They still look good. I've pressure washed in the engine bay once. But they have not been exposed to any continuous water. I keep meaning to leave one outside and see what happens. Thanks for taking the time to post.
I have under carage rust on my truck. Do you think using a torch to heat up the rust and then applying the oil with a paint brush would work?
Brent I'd prob use something like Eastwood's rust encapsulator. Roll it on and use a brush for the tight spots. There's other brands out there. I've used Eastwoods before and it holds up pretty well.
You would probably set your truck on fire!
Nice job thanks for the information
Thanks @johnkozero6842. Ultimately I hope to use this channel as updates on a C10 truck project. I'm using this time to practice making vids. I may make another black oxide vid using another technique.
That's interesting that you can make a series of tacks and they connect into a decent weld. Good job!
The metal is so thin. If you run a continuous bead it will distort. @giantd
Yea you might melt a hole in it. With my stick welder you would have to be careful to remove the slag to get a continuous weld like that, that looks to be a great benefit to mig. I see that on the car shows all the time.@@txfatmarine4583
You can do it with stick welding also @giantd
Grinding Billy's crack, sorry couldn't resist.
Lmfao
I meant bolt hole.
Billy's boat ho lol
This is hot bleuing ... NOT black oxide. Oxide is rust. Black oxide is converted red rust. Just change the title.
Google Bluing & Black Oxide. Essentially the same thing.
It's not actually either, it's a layer of oxidized oil that your coating the stuff with. Not really important though. it looks pretty much the same and resists rust pretty well too. It's a pretty easy way to get a nice black coating
@@asbestosfiberQuestion: how does this wear or look after you put a socket or wrench on it?
I used to do this years ago. Looks real sharp but doesn't stand up to wrench pressure or oxidation either. The more coatings you put on the more brittle it becomes. Used oil out of a diesel engine gives the blackest coating though.
Those wire wheels are savage - I've copped splitters in the face before.
You'll shoot your eye out!
I wear a full face shield anytime using wire wheels.
@@flyingfarm1 I should also. I'm really trying to be better with my PPE
@@txfatmarine4583 I've had them most places on my upper body. I have a thick bush of hair on my head, and once I found one that had pierced into my skull skin quite deeply. Hurt more once it was out, than what it was in. Never even felt it go in.
hot water,steel wool and phosphoric acid does a better job
Because that IS oxide coating. This is not.
I'll try it.
How well does the coating actually hold up? Like as soon as you put the wrench on there, it comes off? I'm just curious, because it almost looks too easy.
It holds up pretty well. All the bolts I've done are protected from direct exposure from the elements. They still look the same. I also tried brass coating and left one bolt on my outdoor work table. The brass has started to rust. I need to leave a black oxide bolt out on the table also and let you know.
You should know better than to make a video about anything because you'll have "Pros" like KJ, who scour the internet to find something they almost know about to comment on. He's just regurgitating some bs he heard or read from another armchair expert who recently graduated from UA-cam University. Good job bro.
Lol
Ok, but what if i Got steel with Copper ring?
Send me one. I'll test it.
I'm going to flat out state that you're ruing these bolts. Your ruining the temper and making these more brittle than their original rating. To season bolts you're better off using grapeseed oil. Clean them, then dip the lot in a cup of grapeseed oil. Toss these in the oven at 400 for an hour. Dip them again and cook them again. Repeat as many times as warranted. The cooking gets em up to 400 yes, but they should not be bluing due to temperatures. Not many things will exceed 400 degrees during normal operation. Exhaust excluded. Thank you for the video, but please upload another with a "safer" method.
Good idea. I may try the oven method in the future. I can see how the results would be easily repeatable.
Yes, he is ruining the original temper, but not that much. It all depends on the use of the bolt. If you can see, he is heating it to a blue color, so it still IS a tempering color. It's not unusual to temper bolts to a blue color and this is around 280C - 310C Last but not least. It's not making them more brittle, but more ductile. Hardened steel is brittle. Tempered becomes more springy, ductile, so for many applications it is more desirable, especially with bolts. This is all assuming those bolts are made of a carbon steel used for hardening. Check a diagram for FE-C content.
The bolts I used in the video hold an engine bay cover in place on a 1966 C10 truck. I appreciate the comments. It's good information. I'm learning from you guys and also trying to encourage others to try something new.
@@txfatmarine4583 If it's just a cover, I wouldn't sweat. If those were used in fixing the engine block, that could be a problem. I wouldn't heat up any bolts that needs fixing with a torque wrench. And if you need to heat them up to unscrew... Exchange. Everything else is a common sense - covers, small constructions, not much force - have fun. Bigger contructions, bolts with a specific torque - no heat. Steel is an amazing material and also a very difficult one. If you would like to find out a bit more, there is a ton of information about it on blacksmithing channels. But one I found very useful was a clip on one physics channel made by Steve Mould: ua-cam.com/video/xuL2yT-B2TM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SteveMould Stay curious 😉
Txfatmarine, I salute you for your patience in dealing with these idiotic comments. KJ7JHN tells you that you're killing the temper when you heat them to the 400 that you state in your video, but then proceeds to tell you to heat them repeatedly to 400. Hahaha I can ASSURE that 400 ain't doing dick to the temper. We use basic ass, grade 5 bolts on 1500psi steam flanges. Probably the same grade you got there. And we use them because that's the engineering spec. And we reuse them for decades. They're getting WELL beyond 400. So dude, keep on coating. Your bolts will definitely last longer without rust than they would have before. And let KJ7JHN take his grapeseed oil and go season a cast iron skillet and then bake us a cake with it.
