Product overview

White-metal track parts are treated by immersion with AK159 Metal Burnishing Fluid, a 100 ml fluid that begins darkening the surface and developing a rusted appearance within seconds. AK and Friulmodel tracks are the examples specified for this process. The final strength is governed by dilution and immersion time, giving the modeller two practical controls over the reaction.

Pour the fluid carefully into a separate container before immersing the tracks.
Use an old brush to carry it into cavities and promote an even result.
After removal, place the parts on absorbent paper while the reaction continues.
Rinse with water to remove the remaining fluid and stop the process.
The reaction finishes after approximately half an hour.

Notes · Q & A

Sprue cutters or a hobby knife — what do I actually need?

Cutters remove parts from the sprue cleanly; the knife trims the leftover nub and mould lines. You'll want both — they do different jobs.

What's the difference between single-blade and double-blade cutters?

Single-blade cutters shear against a flat anvil for an ultra-clean cut with less stress on the plastic; double-blade cutters are tougher for general work.

How do I keep tools in good condition?

Cut plastic only (never metal sprues or wire) with precision cutters, replace knife blades often, and keep files clear with a brass brush.
