Anyhow, the half with the case hardening powder arrived here today. Turns out it is "Cherry red" brand, in the original container just like this:

LINK to Midway

So I won't get a chance to try this stuff for a bit, but I've no reason to think it won't work just fine.

It's interesting that the original Kasenit is no longer available. The chemical it was made from is used as a food additive, so it's not like the stuff is unduly nasty. You'd think someone would be packaging and selling it for this use.

Crazy world we live in.

The Cherry Red works pretty good, I heated up a part and dipped it in then reheated it and a file skipped on it, that was with just one dip in the powder. You can do the double or triple dip if you feel it needs it, I just let it air cool'


I think the deal with the Kasenite powder was that it said somewhere on the lable Cyanide.
