SS can form a patina/oxidation layer that gives it the color especially when heat is applied. It will turn gold, reddish, blue, and black..... Not necessarily in that order.

+1 on that. My tweezers that I use to torch my coils prior to mount is a mix of blue, red and black heh heh >: ) most of it can be scrubbed off with some soap and scotchbrite tho!

Yes that's one good thing about it if you don't end up with the color you like you can sand it back down to the bare metal.
OK! No rust on the Zoro Tools SS cheese heads after torching, 24 hours of plain water soak, 24 hours of salt water soak, and an overnight dry. I would say that they're a safe bet for our heads. They came from eBay: Machine Screw Cheese A2 SS 3mm Slotted Plain TS M1 6x0 35mm Pack 10 | eBay

Your best bet is buying the EH Pro KFL+ V2 if you're going that route. I got that in a few weeks back and from a performance standpoint, it's the closest thing I've found to the real deal.
I bought a BE from someone off ebay and the screws are rusting. I know the seller will not do anything about it. Will it help to replace the screws? There is a rust mark on the base, so now the whole thing is freaking me out. I need to figure out how to post a picture to get some advice on this. I did write the seller today and told him that his products are unsafe. What's odd is he has great reviews. Wonder why my BE is doing this. My other clone from a different seller doesn't do this at all. How does this seller maintain such a great rating when his Kayfuns rust?![]()
True, but just for grins I put just 3 packages of these in a cart. Grainger wants over $10 shipping. The eBay person is asking $5 shipping, much better deal even if he's asking 2x price on the screws themselves.He actually bought those from Grainger...
