Goin with brown. Cylinder was in good shape, no real significant pitting so cleaned it with 400g and left the original bluing down in the roll mark. Hopefully, it will show through somewhat.
In any event, applying the Laurel Mtn Forge very very dry. Rag is so dry you can hardly tell if the acids are transferring to the steel. And, running the damp box at 80% humidity.
So, after the first three hour sit......glorious bronze.
I'm very pleased. And, got my fingers and toes crossed.
