Do I need to protect A2 during soak?

Do I need to protect A2 during soak? Is SS foil necessary for protection against decarb or I can have decent results with no protection? Excuse me if I double threaded.

Definitely. You need protection of some sort. While foil may be better, two coats of ATP-641 works pretty well.

Thank you. I will wrap it in foil.

Just so anyone new knows what is being discussed, they mean stainless steel foil, not aluminum foil.
