Rusting Corrugated Metal Fast

This is a quick video of how to age corrugated very fast. By applying meratic acid and then hydrogen peroxide to a clean sheet of metal, you will get a very old looking piece.

BOOM! And now I can make my spaceships look vintage.

Your videos now are much better than 2019. I enjoyed your 2021 videos very much. Hope you keep it up.

[@jakobwheelhand9907]

Yep on the process of doing the barn metal and pallet wood in my dining room looks real good so far told the wife that I guaranteed muriatic acid would do the trick on patina for new metal it was a hod carrier and a bricklayer for a long time and buckets are out of acid made shovels about the right color gray I was wanting

[@Sloansteelsigns]

Nothing like the smell of aerosolized acid in the morning Ah!

[@JTBell-lf9tl]

What strength/percent Acid and Peroxide? Both are sold with different strengths and it’s important to get the right stuff!

[@gsftom]

Good video. Watched it a while back, did it and love it. Abt to do it again. Worked great for me.

[@AlanisAlanis2018]

I’m using this method for my home thanks so much for this video I can have my dream roof

[@JauntAbout]

The KEY to success is the STRENGTH of the ACID. Leslie's pool supply advertised "twice the acid strength of others". And that is exactly what I found. Muriatic Acid from Homedepot did not do the job, but I had instant success with Leslies Acid. I your not getting a quick response, find another stronger acid. Use all safety precautions.

[@jodisorensen5396]

Where do you get Leslies Acid

[@wendyg.3824]

I have the same question where do you get Leslies Acid ?

[@JauntAbout]

Of course Leslie's is a pool supply store with stores in Southern California. So, possibly similar venues in other areas may have stronger acid. You may need to look around for stronger acid.

Can we use muriatic acid to remove rust from galvanised metal roof sheets?

[@cameron8253]

i used 35% muriatic acid. i wasnt thrilled with the result. maybe another application. i also resorted to pouring the acid on the sheets instead of spraying. the disposable sprayer i got fro this job was crap.

[@tobymofield6597]

I understand if you are eating a peanut butter sandwich, and drinking a cup of coffee while spraying acid, you can get a better result on the rust look? Yet, last year i i was drinking some sweet tea and a BLT sandwich while rusting metal with no mask, and the results were weak. Hope this helps?

[@markmac4596]

Did you rinse with water between acid and peroxide? Do you intend to seal or clear coat to inhibit further rusting?

[@MikeHelms61]

Mark Mac I’ve tried rinsing and not rinsing between the acid and peroxide. Not rinsing gives a much better and quicker effect.

[@debpeck3507]

What do you seal it with to stop the rusting process? Would you rinse it with water before installing in your home?

[@escapetoparadise2226]

Yes.

[@twsrusticgarage4019]

I just the Pour the Meratic acid on sweep with broom then pour Proxide sweep with a broom. Spray with a clerkout then done

[@bryanfontaine9627]

do you sand the coating or oil first?

[@nihalahmed6439]

I this rust or rustic effect?

[@chimera7521]

Did you spray off the muratic acid before spraying with hydrogen peroxide?

[@chimera7521]

Got it. See Someone had the same question that I had.

[@Chris-jy5sp]

I have been doing exactly what you do in video, and I am not getting the same result, not even a little rust has formed, what could I be doing different to get results fast like you are? Is it the metal or brand of peroxide or acid i can change i cant figure it out 😊

[@jonathanbacon1825]

Did you rinse the acid off before the peroxide?

[@mikeopalek4439]

Nope.

[@smofc2010]

Captions would help a Lot

[@joshua12345j]

where did you get the acid

[@twsrusticgarage4019]

Big box stores

[@12vLife]

what gauge is that?

[@Augusto88359]

muriatic acid

[@loubonnett]

but why?

[@unguidedone]

this just blows my mind that you would want to acid etch the metal and reduce the oxidative protective shield weakening it :(

[@davidhalver9692]

Dude... It's done for Movie Sets. It's an example of "ageing," just one of the many Skills used by Film Crew Scenic Artists who can do things like paint a Plywood Box so it looks like a 300 year-old Pirate's Treasure Chest.

[@featheredcoyote5477]

It's for aesthetic purposes. Some like myself use this for indoor purposes as well. Such as wall coverings to the interior of a barn and you want that rustic look without having to search for a year to find old barn tin.

[@cameron8253]

it helps hide the stains from white rust.

[@debbymccormack6525]

That's 2 minutes and 20 seconds of my life wasted.
