I am about to receive a Pigeon grade Superposed free. I have not seen it lately but I do remember it's condition would bring tears to your eyes. It is salvageable and mechanically sound. I guess I am going to use Art's Belgian Blue. Does anyone have any experience? From what I understand you need to boil the parts for this. Plan on getting a piece of 8" pipe and welding up the ends and cutting it lengthwise leaving about a 4" trough to submerge parts. Fashion a 2-3" pipe again capped on both ends with a series of holes drilled in the top thread on end for a propane tank fitting, this will be the burner under the 8" pipe. Sound good? As far as rust removal I want to use electrolysis. The deal where you submerge steel part in water containing washing soda and connect negative end of battery charger to part and positive to steel rods also submerged in water but not touching any negative parts. I've heard this works great and will not hurt steel at all. My concern is if it will hurt the silver soldered vent rib. I think not but would like your opinion. Since the blueing is rust blue on these old Brownings do you think it will remove blueing? I hope so. Please reply with some advise quick b/c i will be getting it soon and would like to have the necessary ingredients from Brownells when I receive it. Thanks all.
