    So I can't spell (but you already know that) One day I'd like to mix another chemical with it to get a big chemical reaction.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Waldo,
    If you want to try something with a big reaction, take some rust and mix it with white vinegar. Take a bit of steel wool and wet it, in a few days it will be a pile of rust. Mix that with the vinegar and try it on Black Walnut or Oak and see what happens.
    I'm both dyslexic and paranoid. I keep thinking I'm following someone.

    I would say it would turn it near black. I put wood in a rusty 44 full of water and it turned black.

    You're right glennk - it would turn black.
    But thinned way out with distilled water one can get a silver-like stain on Oak.
    George Frank called it 'liquid nightmare' and called its use on Black Walnut, "poor Man's Ebony".

    Sounds like Liquid Nightmare.
