Hello.
I am interested in trying this technique on my 1911 after seeing the luscious blue tint it produces.
Does anyone have any info to share on the subject, how would it compare to traditional hot bluing, and has anyone tried it before? For those who have, what equipment and chemicals did you use?
The thing I'm worried about is that the temperature used (550 - 600 degrees F) will temper the metal, is this so? I believe the parts are submerged in the molten mass for less than a minute.
Thanks.
