You will need:

• kettlebraai or outside fireplace

• charcoal

• firelighters

• matches

• metal objects

• oven gloves

• barbecue equipment

• rust activator

1. Make a fire with the charcoal, firelighters and matches! Place the metal

objects directly over the flames or coals, one by one (objects lose their

shape if they lie on top of each other). Leave until all paint coatings have

burned away. (Note: galvanised paint takes longer than others.)

2. Wearing oven gloves, use tongs to remove the objects from the fire. Take

care not to drop them or place them on top of one another as they will

easily distort while hot.

3. When all the objects are cold, wash them thoroughly under running water

to remove any traces of ash.

4. Dry the objects with an old cloth; they are now ready for decorating.

5. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction when using rust activator.
