  • normally megan fox hardens my frizzen, but she doesn't do any of this nonsense

  • I put a thick layer of Kasenit on the frizzen, wrapped leather around it and fixed it with wire. Then I squeezed clay all around it and allowed it to dry for three days. The lump of clay was then put into a steel tube - closed at the bottom of course- and went down into my stove with a fire of charcoal burning white hot. after an hour I pulled it out , broke the clay with a hammer and let the frizzen drop into water- it sparks!!

  • What does the leather do?

  • I've had very little luck with Kasinet also. Will the tin can method work in a charcoal fire also?

  • Wow, I'm going to try this on the weekend !!!

  • attempted to harden a frizzen with kasanit compound 5 times didnt work ..tried this and now my darlin ol brown bess roars every time thanks for the posting
