Well Im about thru with my first bout with rust blue and I have decided its alot of work. I now have a whole new view on what Thor must go thru on his wonderful restorations. I used a wood amo type crate for my rusting box and placed one of those candle melting dobys my wife brought with water in the dish to provide the humidity,I was getting good rust in about 4 hrs. After 5 trips thru I have decent color but its so much work I think I will stick with my salt baths. I will post a pic of the finished product later. And yes Hugh thats your old Erfurt mixmaster in there
