The question is not about the mixture but I de-greased them today. Do I wait for a light coat of rust to form or go ahead and dip them? "Skin that smokewagon and see what happens"

I use flat black spray paint mostly. http://philippinebolomachete.weebly.com/ missing S.E. Asia a bit https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lefties43332 im steve
