Hello Everyone,
I am interested to see if anyone has the data or experience with the fast polymer quenchants and how they compare with the fast oils (like Parks/Heatbath 50).
I am tired of the smoke and flame risk, and smell. If there is a polymer that is just as fast or faster, then I may try it. I guess I would really like it if someone has a source for small quantities of the stuff to mix these up, or would like to split a batch.
The Enviroquench is described as like a fast oil, and the SpeedQuench 1 is supposed to be an inhibited brine, whatever that means.
I would like to try either or both of them for hardening and hamon formation on W2 and low manganese 1075. I could happily replace the Parks and the water forever, if these work out.
Any information and especially data is greatly appreciated. Also, anyone interested in buying a batch of these together.
thanks,
Kevin
