A while ago I stumbled upon a tutorial somewhere about heat treating. The gentleman who was doing the heat treat had a putty or paste that he put on his blades to prevent them from discolouring during heat treating. I was wondering if anybody knows the product and/or which tutorial it was (I dont think it was on this site). Also has anybody else used it? How did it work????

Thanks in advance.

check in a Jewerly supply catalog, there are numerous makers.

That was Terry Primos' heat treating tutorial (http://www.knifenetwork.com/workshop/tut_scale_primos.shtml), and the product was called Turco. I think you can get it from K&G.

Thats the stuff, thanks very much!

No problem.
