Chill with your lasers (Ugly Laser Engraving Blackening)

Hello there, this is my slump my Slovakian UMP It's a stray bog in 45 ACP now Normally, it comes with a stupid billboard right here and today I'm going to teach you how to remove these laser engraved giant billboard logos because Some people ought not to have laser engravers. They take full advantage of it. It's like people taking full advantage of an open bar and Becoming obnoxious Same energy right here. So let's learn how to remove it. All you need is Aluminium blackener and steel wool that is it outside of firearms. I found that Optics companies like Holosun also like to do that. So I have also removed obnoxious Holosun logos on the side Feel free to remove any obnoxious logos with this method I'm about to show you So, let's say we want to get rid of all this right very obnoxious we want to turn that closer to something like This so something that's fairly subtle When you laser engrave aluminium your anodization is basically a colored type of aluminium oxide Aluminium oxide is basically like rust Rust is what happens when you put ferrous objects So iron based metals in in an oxidizing environment and oxidizes the difference is rust degrades because it continually rusts and your Iron your iron molecules will continually turn into rust and flake off Whereas aluminium whenever you expose it and it forms aluminium oxide that sort of turns it into a candy Like it like a hard candy coated external so it naturally rusts well oxidizes and Protects itself from further oxidization. So it's actually really neat how this characteristics of aluminium works So what we're doing right now, we're using steel wool To get rid of that aluminium oxide because we don't want to see the white Because that's obnoxious, right? So once you sort of Know now you don't have to like go full ham on this once you get rid of the surface layer Take some of this aluminium blackener and Put it on a rag It's just like cold blue. It's the exact same concept and Just gently coat it And by the way right now, it's essentially oxidizing itself into a different color You can see here this is how the laser engraving used to look And how it currently looks now much Classier much cleaner much better so That is how you do it. That's how you fix these obnoxious billboards that are on the side. Now this one I had been Coating earlier Put a little bit more on it It doesn't fully get rid of these but it certainly makes it a lot more tolerable So it looks less Like a cheap firearm because certainly these things look very cheap When you use laser engraving, I understand the cost-saving reasons for it, but it does look very cheap indeed I dislike that so This is what it now looks like Much less trash here, right? On the other side same thing It looks like I didn't do a good job scrubbing some of some of the oxide right here so let me scrub some more of the aluminium oxide and rub some more of the Blackener on it to see what it looks like back end Just Much better, right that looks much less trashier. All right. Yeah Ideally Ideally and if I were to give grand power any feedback, please don't use the Nazi font To make a billboard on the side of your firearm But now that it is done I have corrected it and so can you we'll see you back at the range
