kaaayelll Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 The process was easy and the results were better than I expected. Next time, I'll try to take before and during pictures. Supplies: Bar Keeper's Friend Caswell Black Oxide Concentrate - http://www.caswellpl...oxide-kits.html Caswell Penetrating Sealer Bucket or quart/liter container (big enough to submerge club head) Sponge Foam brush Process: Dilute black oxide concentrate 9 parts distilled water (Caswell is pretty specific that distilled water is used) to 1 part black oxide concentrate in container. Only make enough to submerge a club head Clean rust, etc from clubs with Bar Keeper's Friend and wet sponge (Bar Keeper's friend is my go-to product for metal cleaning. It will refresh copper to bright and shiny!) Rinse head (I did not use distilled water for this part) Submerge head(s) in black oxide solution for 3-5 minutes Rinse with water (I did not use distilled water for this part) Brush on a light amount of penetrating sealer, covering head completely Allow to air dry (I left them to sit undisturbed for a few days, but less is probably fine) Results: It's like having a new set of clubs! Of course, I'm easy on my clubs - use head covers, try not to hit the ball too hard, etc. I was pleasantly surprised that they were not particularly oil by the time they were dry. I was thinking that in the future I might try to skip the rinsing and sealing steps (allow black oxide to dry), but the penetrating dried less messy than I expected. Next time, I may try to towel-dry them after a day of so. Gratuitous picture of meatballs I was making while writing this post: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiromikey Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 great job! i've been saying for a while to people who think raw clubs look bad after a while, that at least with these you can diy them to like new again. can't do that with a chrome/satin club!

supo Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 afte seeing this i stuck 3 wedge heads in a bucket of ginger beer. i know coke is sposed to clean em up reall well but just as a "thing" i put ginger beer on them beci had no coke..... well the first wedge came up , great and the rust was all blackened and chared , the dirt was all gone and the heads looked good enough to eat form so i threw 2 more relaly rusty heads in this am with another can of ginger beer, it seems, thaat that stuff is equally bad for u as coke is... ill snap some piccys tomorrow when they have had enought time but the first one struck me as wow!
