what is the best rust blue

[herrnusser]

I am intrested in learning how to rust blue. With so many out there, and every manufacturer claiming that the competition is sub-standard, does anyone have any suggestions or expirience?

I use Pilkington's from Brownells.
I'm no expert, but it was quite easy to do once you get the hang of it.
I waited until the summer when the humidity was up there and didn't make a 'box' or anything else.
The big trick to it all is the metal prep. Polish everything down to 'in the white'.
The finish won't come out like a factory blue, but more of a matte type finish.
