Re: Using blacken-it
Perhaps you should check with the manufacturer of the mesh what material it's made with. Blacken-it works with brass and white metal, it's not for aluminium or stainless, for example.
Did you clean the parts before deeping them on blacken it? Try cleaning with lacquer solvent.

Re: Using blacken-it
Blacken-It doesn't blacken stainless, but is there anything else that does a better job than paint?
PE screens and grids are a particular problem. I've painted pieces three or four times, trying to find that magic balance between full coverage and too much paint. Ddms
