You have probably single-handedly saved the process of japanning. I have followed your trials and errors the entire way. You should be commended for saving a pretty much lost art.

Agreed. I'm trying to japan an entire table, but unsure how it will work but we shall see!

They said sprayable japanning was the fever dream of a mad man and beyond the grasp of mortals but one man had a dream, a dream of a less explosive workbench and clean up that takes minutes not hours.

Years ago I was trying to remove the "black paint" off an antique fan and found nothing would strip it off (including MEK) besides sanding/grinding, through researching why that was was I discovered japanning. No youtube videos existed at that time so it was awesome when you posted your videos and seeing that we used the same japanning recipe. Good stuff man, that spray method is an awesome idea. Thank you!

Try goof off. I just tried it on japaning for the first time not too long ago, and it worked like a charm. The only problem is it likes to evaporate quickly, but it works pretty much instantly (at least on Stanley's japanning). If someone was able to get a tub, with a lid, and fill it up with it so you could soak it, it would probably be ideal. I just don't have the money to try doing it like that.

I'm in the process of restoring a 1920's Victor Luminaire parlor fan, and I've been digging through every scrap of information on japanning I could find. Lots of information on how to do these old planes and tools, but not so much on the decorative finishes that adorn these old cast parts with all the intricacies and swirls. The spray bottle idea has given me hope I might replicate the original finish on this fan. Thank you so much for keeping this finishing technique alive in the modern era.

Handy stuff. For oddball/narrow access solder joints on old equipment I have a soldering gun with a tip wrapped in kapton tape, only the tip exposed. Buys you just enough time to get in and get out of a switch stack without burning every wire in there!

I liked this before I even watched it. Your previous video on japanning is one of my all time favorites. Have had asphaltum on my shopping list for a while, for some old tools which definitely need a good rejapanning. Now time to hit play and see what you came up with this time 🙂

I restore the black antique and vintage Singer sewing machines, and I was excited when I saw the first video trying out the recipes. Now, I'm ECSTATIC! Refinishing these machines (which came japanned from the factory, with gold and colored decals) has been by using glossy black paint until now, but this is fabulous! Thank you so much for making this happen! I'lll be trying it as soon as the weather gets warmer as I usually do that kind of work outside.

Very beautiful finish. I plan to use Japanning on some tools I'm restoring and the spray will now be the method I use. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

@@HandToolRescue very intersting technique, for what I see, the formula and result is very similar to a spraycan very popular among graffiti writers, trains, specialy, it fixes easily and fast over metal, it is Panzer over thick dusty surfaces...you know graffiti, no time for primer..abandoned buildings constructions...hehe, the difference that I see is, that japaning dryes very well, this spray I talk about is commonly name bitum..easy peachy..;)...my question is that very precisely, what about japanning for drying in the long run, the bitum spray never realy gets dry, the effect of bitum spray on common use objects is very nice, but in summer....but for things that are going to be for hard use, it still a great means for protection and it comes already packed into the spray.. that´s why is popular ;), I thought you may like to know, if you don´t by now for years hehe, may you find the info useful for your stuffs.

@@Mister_Brown thanks for the tip, I realy recomend it to everyone, in fact I have never used the bitum spray for painting, that is why I am surprised about this video, I use for protecting metal parts, what makes it japanning..I guess, it cannbe that people finds not so eays all the preparation and having a space to do all that and baking, in that case, and if you live at a cold region, often you may need it "right here right now", if you are into constant hard use, in those cases having a bitum spray at hand is a bliss, in the cold it stay "almost" as hard as baked, and you can leave for a better ocasion to cure, and the stetic result is wow!, you have propper balanced preasure, and the valve well, just works perfect. I mean, is professionaly made specifficaly for hard huse on metal, train paintors at night on the run 10 mins for finishng, one minute longer and...;) you will have to call mama from the police station hahaha. Realy bitum spray makes sense, get to know it and combine it. It will stick to anything immediately and will stay. The baking is what I didn´t know. ))

I use a mouth sprayer for this (or mouth atomizer). Its usual purpose is to spray lacquer over finite work, in order to preserve it. With a pot at the end, i can spray about half a liter worth of it in one go. I don't bother using my lungs for it, tho, i just hook it up to my mini air compressor, gives a much more clean result. Best part about this device, there's no need to alter the solution in any form. Depending on the ratio between the two pipes (oversize, or equal) you can spray even stuff like honey in consistency (with, some difficulty). Easier to clean too.

promising. The "easy to clean" is the thing when japaning. Can you advise about air inlet diameter vs paint inlet diameter, air pressure ? I cant buy it where I live so need to build one. Models seems to have a little funnel at the air tube exit. Can you confirm ? txs

I restored a No 4 hand plane and I did use your previous japanning ratios and it came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing your researches.

I’ve been doing japanning using you previous recipe and it worked great so I just wanted to say thank you! And another great video as always :)

Dude, over “unfinished” cast parts spraying has gotta be the Cockford Ollie of appreciation. Thank you as always, -CY

This is so exciting!! I don't know why. I don't have the tools or expertise to ever properly japan something myself. But it's super exciting to see lost arts and techniques be rediscovered. You're doing amazing work at bringing japanning back

It's people like you that are changing the world a little at a time and making it better for everyone else!

This is revolutionary. I'm not sure that I have the patience to do such work but it's good to know that it can be done in a less messy and more controlled way. Thank you for putting in the effort needed to figure this out.

You absolute madman, you actually did it! Not show here are the 1M hours of trial and error testing. Congrats for sticking with it and finding a solution that works. Really impressive. Thanks for sharing!

Clearly a much needed advance in finishing technology! Congrats and thank you very much for all your efforts!

Your delivery of information is truly art in and of itself.

I saw the first video you did on Japanning. I shared it with a friend that restores planes and he said he was going to try it. He was very impressed. Another awesome video.

Any day I get notified of a new video from your channel is a great day. Thanks for the awesome content!

Wow! This is an awesome technique. This looks WAY easier, and CLEANER, than just brushing the japaning on. The quality of the finish is outstanding!

Amazing! This is my first exposure to the process and I'm really impressed. Thanks for putting this out there to share!

Greetings Here in Argentina we use a product that fulfills the same purpose, it is applied pure or diluted with any solvent derived from petroleum, it dries in the ambient air and its adhesion power is incredible, the finish is slightly shiny. It can be applied on any material (metal, wood, glass, plastic, etc.) Its name is: Asphalt Enamel.

I've been a subscriber for about a year now, but your Japaning research has been one of my favorites! This would be great for a vehicle frame that I'm going to restore. I guess the only issue would be having an oven large enough to cure it?

I do love the look of japanning. Spray application is a great idea.

Amazing! The discussion on this topic is a cross between the Holy Grail and Lost Trade. Really enjoyed your video!👴🏻🇦🇺

Thanks for the upload and spending your time to teach us something, i had heard about it but never really seen it done i may have to do this myself on some future projects

you really made my day , I have followed a few videos about your recipe for jappaning a while ago, then hit kind of a standstill on my project , and was now trying to pick it up again i would like to restore a 1877 compass plane type 1 , but I refuse to spray paint it . thank you very much for your time , patience and dedication to this experiment.

YES i was waiting for you to make this video! now i have to show everyone

Something you might consider trying is instead of turpentine (C10H16) as a solvent, give a pentane (C5H12) a shot. That stuff boils at like 35C, so will dry much faster than the turpentine. I would think a coat could dry in just a few minutes. Keep up the good work, and good on you for coming up with a way of spraying that.

Thanks, I have always wondered how they did this on the old tools that worked so well.

Love the look of Japaning, l have several old plains spoke shave and old hand tools that this would work on.

Had a double take when I heard you say another KZreadr was going to give it a new soul...what mystical art is this?

That looks amazing!

Maybe the old rattle can trick of letting it heat up in a warm water bath will help with atomization so it goes on even smoother. Your result is beautiful still! Really cool!

The coolest thing about all the video channels that you mention, is that over the years I follow all of them. So neat. (a small verification) I guess I can pick good channels to follow.

Super.. merci pour ton aide cela faisait longtemps que je chercher la bonne recette . Merci beaucoup

AWESOME. Thanks for sharing

Like I've said before Eric, your a "mad" scientist who solves everything with a huge sense of humor 💪😎🥸🤓🏆🏅

Great vid HTR!!!!

Is there any recipe for Saskatchewaning? I'm an Albertan who just moved to BC. Not sure why I shared that. When I finally get time after I'm dead to refinish a bunch of old tools I've been collecting, I'll be hitting up your japaning brew. Some of the best videos out there man. Love it and thank you.

YES!!! I've been so looking forward to your Spray Japanning since hearing about it on the podcast. Quick question; do you see potential benefits japanning car components (such as hub carriers etc.) vs simple paint and bake?

New video? Wow, something to celebrate today!

If you're going to be doing a lot of this I would suggest getting something like a 3m accuspray gun. The entire spray mechanism is disposable essentially. You wouldn't have to thin it nearly as much and it would be more consistent. Also if you use the PPS liners, the lids have a 200 micron filter.

Can't wait to see Uri and GB work on this!

Lye / sodium hydroxide will remove japanning, it has to be a very high concentrate and kept very warm almost hot. (Actually 100% lye that is molten/608 degrees will dissolve glass/enamel) I have used lye to remove japanning from old/antique cast iron waffle iron bases. After watch this video I might try to my hand at reapplying japanning to the waffle iron bases. Great video will be watching your other videos about japanning.

You're straight innovating new techniques, a master at work. I'm be glad if this works because I've always hated Japanning - I find it inconsistent and waxy-looking. Unfortunately though, it's sometimes preferable to recreate that old-fashioned finish. Edit: It's so beautiful! I want to cry. So quick and easy, with a better result! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and using it to improve your craft!

sweet!...nice technique innovation, respect.

Thank you - this is great!

not heard of this process before, TY. new sub

Uri is great, this will be a great collaboration!

Dear Sir, thank you for the video and experimentation to save us all some time or effort should we wish to ever venture towards this endeavor. Hope you had a great thanksgiving and Happy Holidays or what not shall we not see you again until after.
