The Mordant is like water and turns the surface grey so you know where it has worked and where it needs doing again. The alternative is to weather the galvanised metal for 12 months in the open; it's not going to rust being galvanised!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-72576536988492255242018-11-21T21:06:10.243+00:002018-11-21T21:06:10.243+00:00Also I would suggest leaving it a few weeks before...Also I would suggest leaving it a few weeks before painting, until the Galv lose it's shine, you then have a better chance of the paint stickingRob Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-77075435431104800392018-11-21T20:09:42.616+00:002018-11-21T20:09:42.616+00:00Yes, thanks, we have a tin of the etching stuff.
