Alessandra Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've used blacking on old cast iron wood stoves. But I was wondering if it could be used an a black enamel top of a regular kitchen stove (to make it look new again). From the descriptions, it sounds as though it could http://www.amazon.co...=stove blacking Any experience/opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sounds like it could be pretty messy. Cast iron has a textured surface that will absorb and hold onto the wax. A painted or enameled commercial stove surface is slick and has nothing to grip the wax. I imagine that every time you brush against it, you would get black on yourself or the cloth. You would be better off doing some touch up with an enamel paint that can handle high temps. It will never look perfect if you try to repair it, but if you have some large chips out of the surface, it may make them less obvious.

Tap Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I would consider trying Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop cleaner (they make several products so make sure you get the cooktop cleaner). It is designed for glass top stoves and I have never had an issue with it damaging the enamel on the edges. It is a cleaner but also polishes so it can make the surface look nice again as well. I buy it at Home Depot but at our location it is with the appliances, not the cleaning aisle. There are other similar products, but look at the ingredients before you buy. Some are just calcium carbonate. I can not attest to any other brands because I have stuck with just this one over the years and have been pleased with the results.
