Kasenit

[Commodore Swab]

My supply is finally starting to run low and it would appear it is no longer available? Any suggestions on where to find some?

Looks like kasenit has been discontinued but there is a product called Cherry Red Surface Hardening Compound that Midway gun supply sells.

Don't know if it's as good as Kasenit or not. Hope this helps.

I haven't checked recently in Dixie Gun Works, don't know if they still carry it or not. I know that my latest Centaur Forge catalogue has it listed though. I am at the Library and don't have it with me, but they are on the web. Maybe you could try them?

Try Track of the Wolf. It is still listed in their catalogue but I do not know if they still stock it or not.

Richmond Supply still has it on their list. In one, five and ten-pound cans.

I called them a while back they couldnt locate any mentioned their website did not reflect their inventory and said they would call back if they located any. I never heard from them.

I have had good results from cherry red on frizzens and other hardening operations
