I haven't used mine for years......What are methods of the case hardening with it....
Comments
Heat the part to a cherry red and dunk it in the Kasenite making sure to get a thorough coating. Re-heat the part to cherry red and hold at that color for a couple minutes and then quench in water. Make sure to keep the part moving through the water to help prevent steam/air bubbles from forming.
I'm not sure if Kasenite works the same as Hard-N-Tuff. With H-N-T you can make repeated applications prior to quenching to get a deeper case.

I think kasenite is what makes Iron Man very weak.
Well.... my wife got it, anyway.
