Parkerizing my parts on the 1960 FLHF build

Post parkerizing, it would be best to treat the parts that aren't going to be painted with a preservative oil specificately formulated for rust prevention.

I have seen various types of gun oil recommended. Also products like Boeshield T-9 and Tectyl 802A. The possibilities are endless.

Edit: Ok, so you got me thinking and I came up with an informative article on the net.

The only thing you may want to avoid are oils with heavy distillate waxes. Basically, if the bottle says anything more than oil on it, think twice. Those types of oils work well on firearms but tend to create a white crystal surface on many home parkerized hardware items, especially cp bolts (in my experience). I didn’t run into that problem on pedals, but I did on brake levers.

thanks for creating this thread. It’s fun to share adventures in home parkerizing.

My first home baths were made by dissolving the innards of dry cell batteries in phosphoric acid. Near total guess work and worked surprisingly well.
