I didn't get that red rust either at first and figured it wasn't getting enough humidity too. Try this its easy enough, what I did was place all my parts in a pot and then put that pot in a cooler just big enough to hold it, added just enough water to wet the bottom of the inside of the cooler and then added 2 wash cloth's that I'd soak in VERY hot water and then put in the 2 corners of the cooler and cover it over. The closed cooler with the wash cloth's that were steaming made the gun rust up MORE then in Mark's pictures.



I washed mine back off last night to touch up a few little spots I missed and when I did it washed almost all the black off. So I'm trying it again. I don't mind that it takes forever to do I just want it to turn out good.
