How to Rust Aluminum...

I have had this idea in my head for so long, and after trying numerous methods of getting aluminum to rust {quickly- not over years}...

I finally found the solution!

So here is how to Rust aluminum quickly...

What you need:

-Vinegar

-Clorox

-Salt

-Plastic Container with lid

- Aluminum object

( i used unwanted cookie cutters)

Instructions:

1. In plastic container pour an equal amount of Vinegar and Clorox;

 just enough to cover your aluminum object.

**Be very careful as these two chemicals are very potent and are dangerous. I would suggest wearing gloves as these chemicals together can turn your hands black.**

2. Once you have placed the aluminum object in your mixture, pour about 1+ Tablespoon of Salt in the container.

3. Place plastic container outside with lid on top.

4. Within a couple of days (somethings may take longer) you will see the rust begin to build.

5. After you have seen the rust to your liking, take the object out with tongs and let the air dry the object.

For a less dangerous way of rusting; soak the object in each chemical one at a time. 

Soak the object in clorox (with Salt) for a few days

And then soak it in the vinegar(with salt) for a few days.

Here is my finished project..
