In this video I will be showing you how to chemically rust up your welded metal art projects for that ultra unique look! I will be showing you all of the supplies you will need, the recipe for the rapid rust solution, the procedure, some tips on how to mask certain parts, and the results of using a clear coat on this type of finish.

I decided to do a 2 tone finish on my welded sheet metal fox because of the results of a poll I put out where my subscribers wanted to see a rust/polished fox that looked similar to a real red fox coloring.
