Tip: Stay Away from Homemade Weathering Cocktails on the Internet
Our wholesale side has had a lot of clients recently asking to try and save their corten steel. All of these clients used homemade weathering cocktails that they had found on the Internet.


What went wrong?
To get the chemical reaction effect, these internet recipes usually tell people to make cocktails using vinegar and salt. This does cause a chemical reaction in the weathered steel, but there are a few problems with this.
The most important thing to know is that it's hard to control how quickly and when the reaction happens when you're using home-made cocktails. The great instability makes it hard for customers to judge how much the chemical reaction is happening and to take the right action.
