Anywhere online that offers a good explanation of the parkerizing process?

I've read of a few good home brew parks, but I went the AGI route when I did my rifle.  I had to do another recoil lug and tried home brew and it didn't do nearly as well.  

The basic premise I remember was keeping the solution warm (just under 200 degrees), letting the phosphoric acid eat on a biscuit of steel wool, and lightly deposit manganese (or what ever color you want) on to the parts.  Very cool process and a lot fun to experiment on.

Best ones I have found are 1919.com and project guns

If you take the plunge the AGI kit w/video is very helpful.
