[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3202568, member: 34578"] Sounds like there was still some oil on the metal. When i did mine I did it much like Swamprat said, but before blueing, I put on gloves, washed all of the metal parts with Dawn and water and then let them dry and I did not touch them again without gloves on. I used a brand new piece of 0000 Steel wool to apply a coat of blue, let it sit for 5-10 mins, rinsed it off with cold water, dry it of with a clean rag, and then repeated this until it was dark and even. I also used the Birchwood Casey Super Blue btw. Let me see if I can find the post with the results... Here it is: [URL]https://www.okshooters.com/threads/1951-western-field-87-sb87-ta-refinishing-project-picture-heavy.213900/[/URL] . edit: typos [/QUOTE]
