Browning is not a coating, but a discoloration of material through oxidation. A primer prepares the surface and provides for the optimum function of the tanning. Also with special aluminum alloys. The primer is applied before the tanning process in order to achieve an optimum results. No previous sanding is necessary, which saves you a great deal of time.
The Ballistol aluminum tanning system for surface finishing is the first aluminum tanning system approved for the end user and is therefore not exclusively suitable for the commercial user. The black marking-bronzing for aluminum alloys, which is easy to use, is resistant to abrasion and permanent. It is therefore suitable for Ideal to repair scratches and friction points, but also for revving, for instance for spy glass fitting, hand guard for semi-automatic weapons or even for completely small components.
Application tip: The tanning features its very easy application. The only thing to note is to degrease the surfaces before the tanning operation. For example, the Ballistol cold degreaser, the Ballistol weapon parts cleaner or the Ballistol brake and parts cleaner are suitable for this purpose.
