Here are a few conrad lips I cooked at 1000 degrees for 1 hour and cooled slowly. They will be put on skin plugs I am doing. I like the no shine look for nite time.

Next you will be telling me your smelting your own lips from ore you dug up in your back yard!.... you know I use to date pretty hot babe in college who is now a metallurgist...we use to talk heat treating and annealing stuff all the time... shows you how exciting dating engineers are) You might like her. If I recall, I think she was into Frank Zappa too.

looks like your trying to match the color of the eel skins inside out.

we use to have some stuff to parkerize[spelling?] metal..it wa a blue liquid that you heated to 150* degrees and you'd just let the metal soak in it for an hour..it would come out dark charcoal grey and never come off....the army would use it kill the shine on their equipment.
