Hey guys,
I just recently aquired 5 gallons of Parks 50 quenchant from Maxim Oil, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips or info to give me regarding its use?
Up until now, I've just been using pre-heated veg. oil heated to about 120 or 130F to quench my 1095 blades.
Apparently this can be used from 50 to 125F or so, but should not exceed 125. Do you guys notice any benefits from different temps in that range, or is it all about the same?
Also, is there anything I need to keep in mind when using or storing this? Any ideas as to how many quenches I can get per gallon of this stuff?
Any advice or info is much appreciated!
Thanks guys,
Drew
