Barn door after the horses have bolted! How to Apply CitriStrip For an effective finish removal, follow these steps: [1, 2] Prep the Area: Ensure the room is well-ventilated and wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety eyewear. [1, 2] Apply Generously: Pour or brush a thick, even layer of the gel onto your project. Do not over-brush or spread it too thin, as it must stay wet to work. [1, 2, 3] Cover for Maximum Effectiveness: For stubborn, thick layers, cover the gel with plastic wrap. This prevents the stripper from drying out and allows it to sit for up to 24 hours. [1, 2, 3] Scrape: Remove the softened sludge using a plastic putty knife or scraper. Work with the wood grain to avoid scratches. [1, 2] You could also try heat. In the old days we'd use a torch today best to use a heat gun.
I like to use citristrip https://a.co/d/03TES4Xy as I was in an apartment and it was easier to work with and less fumes. Took abit longer but I put it in a paint tray and brushed it after 30min to an hour and it worked well. Then I washed it well and used alcohol to make sure the patina applied evenly. I think I used apple cider vinegar till I got a darkness I wanted and tossed it in an empty bucket or empty detergent bottle with some small rocks and water and shook it for a few minutes to get the finish. Then dry quickly. I polished the choil but that was mostly for the Esee 6. I had some rust issues at first due to being in a high humidity area in Maine but I fixed that and now make my own dyi blade blalm to protect it and have had no issues. I took it apart and applied at the tang under the scales too. Just make sure it’s fully dry before you do that. Dyi balm:Equal parts Beeswax and Microcrystalline or other petroleum based WaxThen a good amount of food grade mineral oil and petroleum jellyMet and let it solidify till you get the consistency you want. I like mine like a balm but in higher heat you may want a harder higher beeswax solution. Apply to a rag and clean your knife after use and you will have no issues. I did it awhile back ago here is the post on my esee6 I also ended up doing my 4hmhttps://www.reddit.com/r/FixedBladeEdc/s/LwqSiDgLYS
