It's 30 seconds you leave it on for and not 30 minutes. Edit; just checked the back of the bottle I have. No6 in the instructions, 30 seconds and rinse.

You are absolutely correct. I had misread the tiny print instructions on the bottle. However, sometimes you learn things from your mistakes. In this case, the metal was still reacting to the bluing after 30 seconds. The 30 minute results were actually some of the best I've received. Since that gun I've done some other repairs on other firearms. I've found the steel in different guns react differently. A Colt turned more gray than black, an Iver Johnson had blotchy results, an Astra had a blotchy brownish result, and a Walther had fantastic results. Alcohol works best for cleaning. Heating the part gives better results as well. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment and if you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on KZbin.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 I've got to do an old single shot .410 Baikal shotgun. I thought that your finish did look really good even after 30 minutes. I'm thinking of leaving it on the Baikal for 30 mins to see the out come. It just goes to show that too long isn't detrimental to the metal.

Like I said, I found as long as there's still a reaction going on with the bluing agent (which I could see) I just left it work. Some metals had no reaction other than the blackening which was immediate. 30 seconds was probably enough time. Additional time would probably make no difference. Others had more reaction which would continue so I left more time. I suspect you won't know until you're actually doing the bluing. Best wishes and good luck.

Sir, May I pass on some advice I was given? It is good policy NOT to dip into the blueing bottle itself but to pour some into a container, just enough for the job, This ensures there is no contamination of the rest of the bottle for further use! Otherwise nice video, Thank you.

Probably good advice. But note that Birchwood Casey will sell you their applicators (they look like a cotton ball affixed to a wire with a loop on the handle) which fit into their bottles perfectly. It gives the impression that you'd be repeatedly dipping into the bottle on a large project. So I'm not so sure about a dipping restriction. Also, while I usually use a fresh swab or patch each time when applying bluing, I have occasionally re-dipped. The same bottle has lasted almost a year and through many projects and does not seem to have lost its potency. However, I would still agree with you that re-dipping isn't the best idea.

I don't think that slide was blued originally, but looked like paint to me, because bluing doesn't scratch like that ?

Perhaps, but Birchwood Casey's Blue & Rust remover did remove the old finish. That would not have happened if it were paint. Whatever, it was indeed a weird looking damage.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 maybe the steel wool is what took the paint off, it's just that the finish looked more like the rest of the frame ? I don't know just an observation...thanks and have a great day !!

I don’t know where the instructions say 30 min. Mine says “1 minute.”

@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Жыл бұрын
The instructions suggest 30 seconds, but as I point out in other replies, I've found that leaving it on for as long as there is visible reaction gave me better results. Also, metals differ, so with S&W carbon steel, I've found that reaction could continue for minutes beyond 30 seconds. 30 minutes on first application worked for me on this gun, but not so much on others.

Can you just paint over the old bluing?
@mickmacstabletopreviews8466
@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 10 ай бұрын
If you mean, can you apply cold bluing over old bluing? Yes, you can, but the results may not blend and may appear blotchy. Bluing will only work on bare metal areas. That being said, you can experiment and try an area where bluing has been worn off, like on the muzzle due to holster wear. In the end, if the results are satisfying, you may have just saved yourself a whole bluing job. I've done this myself with good results. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Anyone know what actual color does perma blue, super blue and aluminum black after several application? I'm looking for something that could produce a really dark green or like a seaweed color..
@mickmacstabletopreviews8466
@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Жыл бұрын
Other than what I said in my review, I have tested Perma Blue and it appears to provide a lighter bluing effect than Super Blue. I had hoped it would have been darker. Aluminum Black did not perform well in my opinion. As for what would turn a surface green? I have no idea. I suspect it would have more to do with the composition of the metal itself.

Yes, Birchwood's instructions are for 30 seconds. However, my experience has been that as long as there's a reaction going on, I'll leave it work with good results. I think the quality of the metal makes a difference. Usually under 2 minutes with a liberal application will do, but this S&W slide was a bit weird with the reaction continuing for minutes. 30 minutes was probably unnecessary, but it didn't hurt and I had good results.
