I've been researching the subject of cold blues. This seems to be the recommended procedure based upon the consensus on THR:
Use Brownell's Oxpho Blue.
Degrease the area to be blued.
Use blow dryer to heat specific area.
Apply blue with 0000 steel wool.
Allow to penetrate for a minute, keeping area wet with bluing compound.
Rinse with running water.
Repeat application of blue, rinse, etc., two or three times.
Apply Breakfree and buff with 0000 steel wool.
Apply more Breakfree and allow to sit untouched for 24 hours.
Are these steps about right? Thanx for all the help, guys. I love the internet.
