No, Jens, I never used saltpeter. What I have done is heat both solution and blade. This seems to speed up the process a little and still makes it quite controllable.

Did I say you did - then I am sorry - I thought it was Spunjer

On SFI Lodewijk warns about salpetre, that it is very fast working.
