Repair Scratches on your AR-15 Receivers and More
Birchwood Casey’s Aluminum Black quickly repairs scratches and marring to aluminum, which is perfect for a scuffed up AR-15 receiver or handguard. This solvent quickly darkens bare aluminum, and can be re-applied to achieve a darker finish to match your anodizing.
How to Use
- Safety first: make sure you’re using sterile gloves of some kind before handling Aluminum Black.
This is a corrosive solvent, do not let it come in contact with your skin. - Clean and degrease the surface you want to blacken – isopropyl alcohol is a good option for this
- Pour a small amount of Aluminum Black into a separate container. Do not use the Aluminum Black bottle or cap, as you’ll contaminate the solvent.
- Dip a q-tip or other cotton swab into your separate container, and apply Aluminum Black evenly on the aluminum surface.
- Re-apply as needed to achieve the shade of black you need.
- When you’re finished, wipe down your steel with a q-tip or swab, and ensure you dispose of any materials properly.
