The Birchwood Casey 15125 Aluminum Black Touch-Up provides professional-grade metal finishing for restoring worn aluminum surfaces on firearms and tactical equipment. This room temperature application formula eliminates the need for heating or special equipment while delivering durable, corrosion-resistant results.
What Makes This Different
Unlike spray-on alternatives that create overspray and waste, this precision applicator bottle allows targeted touch-ups on specific areas. The selenium dioxide-based formula chemically bonds with aluminum surfaces rather than simply coating them, creating a molecular-level finish that won't chip or peel. The 3-ounce bottle provides enough product for multiple restoration projects while maintaining consistent viscosity throughout its shelf life.
