I would suggest doing a baking powder solution spray once your desired look is achieved. That will neutralize the acid and keep it from continuing to rust. Then clear coat.

Terrific! Always love the aged look of a metal roof.

Looks great. Thank you

Thanks for sharing this project. God-bless.

Thanks! Great info 👍

Incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is awesome. going to build a barbecue shack. And this is exactly what I needed...❤

Thank you

Great video, some really good information provided here. I would also consider pump weed sprayer will hold up a lot better. Also for big jobs adding some food dye or weed spray dye helps visualise cover on larger applications and washes of fine. just do a small test first to make sure.

I wonder if once it dries doing a second go around to maybe rust the already etched top spots may give it a more rusty look.

I wonder how it will work with white tin! Im gonna try it

On the roughing up part could you use a wire wheel on a grinder or would that be to much

Acetone is best product to use

Dakota Tin sells rusted metal panels, really nice products if you dont want to do it yourself.

😊

Did you add a clear coat later? If so, what type of product did you use?

What size did you cut the corrugated metal down too?

Please use the guard on you grinder. When it wears down and breaks off it could stick in your neck. Easy death.

You can just use vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide...you don't need to use acid.

@@PatriotDIY The panels I did have a much more even coat of rust...really pretty. I'm not trying to give you grief, I just think there's a safer, cheaper, and better way that doesn't risk someone getting acid in their eyes.

Galvanized fumes are deadly There's nothing wrong with it just make sure everybody knows that

Isn't that just for welding, or for this technique as well?

What percentage hydrogen peroxide do you use in the video?

Not sure, I'd say just use the hight percentage you can find

Did you leave the acid on for a week or wipe it off?

Won't white vinegar do the same thing?

Vinegar isn't as strong as muriatic acid and won't eat through the galvanizing. It will work on bare untreated steel.

Is your shop framing steel or aluminum?

I’m struggling big time…. Galvanized turned black when I put acid on….. peroxide is not “rusting” fast…. Or at all for that matter

What kind of metal is it? Did you sand the surface? How long did you leave the acid before adding the peroxide?

I’m having the same issue and I got 700 sq feet worth. I got mine from metal mart and I’d bet the galvanizing is much better than that of Lowe’s or comparable. So there is a much greater reaction and the black is a result of that. I’m not sure what to do now..

Did you let the acid sit a few minutes before adding the peroxide? Then you can let it sit overnight before cleaning of the chemicals

No thanks, I'll just wait for it.

This video is part of an entire project series...so yes I spent a little time talking about how this metal is incorporated into the project......if you don't like it KZread has this really nifty feature that allows you to skip ahead in the video......or spend that 3 minutes on finding yourself another video to watch 😉
