[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 1038184, member: 3655"] Looks good for a home blued finish. Most cold bluing solutions will darken if you will heat them with a hair dryer while they are still wet with solution. What the bluing solutions are is a mixture of Copper salts which adhere well to the metal and oxidizing agents which turn the copper black. Heating to much will cause it to boil and ruine your job but a low even heat will make it darker / faster. All cold bluing will wear quickly if used on guns that get a lot of use, for those guns I would recommend professional hot dip bluing or rust bluing. {You knew that a gun finisher would say that didn't you?} [/QUOTE]
