[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3202537, member: 15054"] Did you sand it to a very fine finish? I sand my parts to very shiny finish and then use Birchwood Casey Super Blue. I clean my hands with soap and water and dry on a towel that has been washed with NO fabric softeners or dryer sheets. I use acetone and paper towels to clean the surface. I then take 0000 steel wool and wad a piece up and pour some Super blue onto it and rub it onto the shiny clean steel. I repeat that a few times and have got some really dark blueing. The last thing I did was a handle for an old Rock Chucker press. The handle was all surface rusted and now looks like a new Blue steel handle. It worked on a few gun barrels and frames also. I have not tried any other cold blue so I can't say how others will work. [/QUOTE]
