Retard here. Just seasoned my cast iron pans and it got me thinking. Can you season your weapons to become more rust proof? Does raising steel to 400 degrees Fahrenheit ruin the heat treatment? I feel like no, since people run their barrels till red hot in some cases.
Doing anything will likely make them less rust proof.
They come preseasoned from the factory
>>65544427>Can you season your weapons to become more rust proof?sure, but polymerized oil doesn't do that as well as actual treatments like nitriding>Does raising steel to 400 degrees Fahrenheit ruin the heat treatment?It might>I feel like no, since people run their barrels till red hot in some cases.That is retard shit that ruins barrels. No, it's not ok to do that. "but the gun didn't explode yet" is not really a good starting point for evaluating whether something is a good idea. Youtube meltdown videos and their consequences have been a disaster for the midwit race.
Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough
>>65544427>Retard hereYes. Don't do that. Oil your guns like the normies instructed us, trailblazing on this kind of thing doesn't pay
>>65544427All seasoning is is polymerized oil right? So just rub linseed oil or something on the metal like you would on wood. I imagine dry parkerizing would soak it up like a spongeI may start doing that actuallyMy house is pretty humid
>>65544427>wypipo don season dey guns
>>65544504SALT AND PEPPER IS ALL IT NEEDS, talking about needing half a fucking can of McCormick seasoning for each fucking burger.
>>65544427linseed oil or tung oil on blued finishes when storing stuff long-term or going innawoods wet and humid is not uncommon, in fact it was a standard approach back in the day, and traditional gunsmithing restorers still do it.
>>65544527you don't even put any garlic in your hamburgers? grim
>>655444271st of all, Lodge is shit.
>>65544550I wanna try polishing an old lodge pan like pic related
>>65544537>linseed oil or tung oi>fatherless children don't use Rangoon OilWierd, but not suprising.
>>65544559>Rangoon OilNot everyone is British
>>65544559isn't rangoon oil just some weirdly thickened kerosene? the old bottle I've seen is much thinner than standard gun oil. kerosene is still fair lubrication in parts of canada that hit -30 C and below in the winters
>>65544638Distilled light oil/heavy kerosene from the oil springs in Rangoon.Best oil for the cold in Canada was Stag's frigidized. Company has been dead for about 6 decades now though.
>>65544427>Can you season your weapons to become more rust proof?Yes, that's what finishing like bluing and parkerization do.
>>65544558>polishing an old lodge pan like pic relI support this, buy a tool from Harbor Freight.
>>65544670BORING!
>>65544550Lodge sucks for the first 3 months…then it works like any other. Its all the same material
Cast iron tastes too long to heat up and all I cook are eggs
>>65544804lodge is heavy as fuck compared to a same size wagner. though yeah both work for cooking.
>>65544899Stop searching for immediate gratification or strt microwaving your shitty eggs.
>>65544903heavy as fuck is good for some things and bad for others. You get a nicer sear on meats with those heavy ass cast irons.>>65544899it takes like 5 minutes to heat for eggs, you're just a nigger.
>>65544427Essentially if you want fire, danger and 3rd degree hell burns- hot bluing with molten salts. Or the old wait a while carding and browning process which ends up being boiledThere is also parkerisation and cold blues, both of which are pretty quickBut the real pain in the ass is that bare metal, perfectly clean surface you need for any process and cast iron just isnt the same as steel, there's a degree of porousity which lets it soak up surface oils and the heat properties are wildly different. So the same process on frypans and using it on steel just isn't really applicable >>65544504I got your zesty spices, stand over there
>>65544899lmao zoomers are hilarious
>>65544925More of an energy use/ efficiency issue. I have an IR range which I already don’t prefer and is the worst for cast iron. I just don’t make enough food for the amount of heat it takes to bring 6oz of eggs to 160°F>>65544998I was pathetically inept before it was cool
>>65544899almost within two minutes it is hot af on induction.
>>65544558they return to their factory color after a few weeks
>>65544804sanded mine and skipped the three months bit
>>65544427never change /k/
>>65545026>2 minutes to heat up>then have to cook eggs for the full 8 minutes to prevent salmonella Nobody has time for this
>>65544427some say if you sprinkle pepper and oregano in the chamber, emeril lagasse materializes and gives you a 2h attack buff on nonWhite NPCs
>>65544427yes american made 1911 in the colt factory were deep fried, and in the golden era of colt, they were double dipped in tallow for that deep royal blue.As for carbonia blue they where hand polished to a mirror finish then all greased up in sperm whale oil and given an oven baked finish to sear the whale oil.Lugers p08 where instead slow seared with canola oil for that rust bluing.As for glocks they are teflon coated and nothing sticks to them.
>>65545369>cook eggs for the full 8 minutesWhat limp wristed faggot "taught" you to cook?
>yppo season they pans
>>65545369>cook eggs for the full 8 minutes
>>65545856>>65545879Do you people want to die?
>>65545885die from what? cooking a sunny side up takes literally 2 minutes tops, what are you talking about?
>>65545885>anon is scared of food that's not absurdly overcooked Your parents (assuming you had any) FAILED you
>>65545888>>65545908>never heard of food borne diseases Your dicks will fall off.
>>65546237Do you also get your steaks well done?
>>65546237>being that scared of food that's not carbonized Hopefully your bloodline dies with you because man that's just fucking sad. Are you also scared of shooting due to the supposed lead exposure?
>>65546237Dude you can eat eggs raw broJust spike a little hole in the shell and slurp that shit
>>65546242He gets his done "congratulations" style (beyond well done lol) with a lot of ketchup
>>65546328i'm both laughing my ass off and plotting to kill you for putting "congratulations" in my food vocabulary.
>>65546237yeah i know what a food borne disease is you dip, i also don't get sick from food because i know how to cook. are you 12 or something? did your mama never teach you how to cook properly?
>this threadI understand why our society needs suffocation warnings on plastic bags now
>>65546415>did your mama never teach you how to cook properly?If you're counting the minutes while frying eggs, it wasn't your mother that taught you to cook. That would be wikihow or some shit
Yes. Baking loaded magazines makes them function better too. It molds the mag to the bullets. They need to be live though so the weight and everything is right.
>>65546466still better than "fry an egg for 8 minutes otherwise you'll die"
>>65544427OP these niggers I swear.... ok...Heat the gun to 500f for an hour. Douse it in COLD Singer's sewing machine oil mixed with 10z of 10w-30. Scrub the shit out of it when it cools down and you take it off the heat right after that. But only use a plastic brillo pad looking mesh-weave scrubber. Then pressure wash the gun. I have no idea what this does but you seem to want to do it and it sounds like I know what I'm talking about.
>>65545885>>65546237My simplest troll yet. Cast iron threads are too easy.
>>65546489I was referring to the "fry eggs for 8 minutes or you'll die" with my remark regarding "counting the minutes while frying eggs"
>>65546504ah my bad then
Cast iron vs carbon steel?
>>65546545i got a pan like the one on the right that i got for like 10 dollars, and it works fine as a daily driver. if i prepare it, i can even make crepes on it without a problem
>>65546545light and fast response vs heavy and heat retentioni use cast iron for meat and carbon steel for vegetables
>>65546545/ck/
>>65546545almost all the carbon steel I see new on the market now are just aluminum sandwiched between a lower layer of magnetizable steel and upper layer of carbon steel. pure single layer carbon steel is either too expensive new or you have to buy vintage.
>>65546426Too bad they can’t read them.
>>65546691How is laminating shit lile that cheaper than just . . . . a peice of sheet steel? makes zero sense
>>65546691Pretty sure Ikea carbon steel pans are 100% steel
>>65548658I also wondered that. Jew/Chink math
>>65545369>only 8 minutesThis retard don't enjoy a full sear on his eggs.
>>65548658because retards are buying carbon steel pans thinking it'll work like teflon pans and will heat instantly and be nonstick, never even bothering to season it properly or wash it properly or maintain it. so they sell essentially thin carbon steel laminated aluminum pans with an induction compatible layer too on the bottom so it'll work like all the other pans these retards are used to, and yet they still leave retarded reviews about the surface rusting or food sticking........... I don't know, it's chink jew math either way.
>>65549231>with an induction compatible layer tooSo, steel/iron?How do you think induction stoves work?
>>65549325there are types of steel used in cookware that are not magnetizable and not induction compatible. a lot of german stainless steel prior to the wide availability of induction cooktops are not induction compatible.
>>65549325>>65549335and what I meant is that the carbon steel clad stuff on the market have a stainless steel magnetizable layer for the bottom, rather than carbon steel bottoms. Only the top is a carbon steel layer, and the middle layer is thicker aluminum.
>>65549340Interesting, but do you have any proof of this claim? Because I've almost never heard of anyone selling "carbon steel" pans that aren't just one solid chunk of carbon steel pressed into shape.
>>65549350just search carbon steel clad pans and you'll see plenty, it's very common out of china generic brands and ones you see sold in big box stores, but "reputable" european or american brands you'll probably find only one or two that are carbonn steel clad.
>>65549363So just don't buy weird no name pans, not hard, as mentioned earlier Ikea pans are generally pretty decent for the price.
>>65549377yes the ikea carbon steel are great for beginners to mess up with and learn how to season and use carbon steel. fantastic in fact. but they really aren't that good overall and don't hold seasoning well compared to obviously significantly more expensive pans that come polished and well-seasoned already out of the box. the reason is that ikea coats it with some kind of plasticized spray, and you have to BURN that off or polish it off with something abrasive before you can even start to season it multiple times to make it ready to use like a good carbon steel pan.
>thread ends in Ikea shitware
>>65546691Lodge is $45 for the 12" pan on Amazon. It's all steel and US made with a lifetime warranty. They'll get you one tomorrow if you live in the US. What third world shithole are you stuck in and why haven't you left it?
