Welcome back to the channel!
Today were back in the shed for a quick lesson on how to rust proof your bolts, washers and indeed most outdoor fixings.
The bolts shown in todays video are from the gsx600f as they are exposed to the elements all the time are susceptible to rusting this will be a good test of the process and long term weather proofing effects.

I’d like to warn everyone that many bolts are heat treated and this will affect its physical properties and strength profile. Great content though

Very nice video mate. Nice and simple. Help me big time. Cheers for sharing.

Unrelated to the content of this video, but . . . looking at the underside of the roof of your shed, which is subject to what sounds like a British winter environment (unless I'm mistaken) . . . I'm SERIOUSLY overbuilding the sheds I plan to build this spring. Based on my current framing plans. LOL I seem to always do things the hard way.

Is it dangerous to breathe in the smoke? Should you wear a paint fume mask? Should this be done outside?

have you gotten beat up in the comments about altering the metal properties yet and making these bolts brittle and reducing their tensile strength, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just seen that always being the case, so I use this process only for ornamental hardware and not for anything structural, maybe a metallurgist can comment on this for us

That was not the correct way of bluing steel. Your screws became too brittle. Red hot steel (over 800 deg.Celsius) is used during hardening steel. Bluing temperature is max 300 deg.Celsius. A blue oxidation appears on a steel. That's why it's called bluing.
