March 7, 2007 Cold Blueing Solution


I'm thinking of doing some restoration work on some old tools that will probably need rust and any built up patina removed, in order to keep the tool from getting any deeper rust pitting.

Has anyone seen a source of steel Cold Blueing solution.

It creates a chemical blue-black finish, without the need for heat and oil.

You'd get it at a decent sporting goods store, but there are no Cabela's, Dick's, or Sportsman's Warehouses there. REI and Big5 only consider eg rock climbing and skiing to be "sporting." Rural Walmarts even carry it but probably not there in SoCal.

Try a good gun shop.

They are made to be used, that's what I buy 'em for :).

If you don't mind mail order;

may have what you're looking for, though S&H may cost more than the chemical.

When I need it, usually for my BP guns, I go to local sporting goods store. Normally find it in the firearm cleaning supplies area.

Thank you for the leads.

I'll go to my local gun shop.

I'm sure they'll have it there, along with the night-vision, tracer rounded, armor-piercing.... for rodent hunting... full auto.

Obviously Adam is one of those people who believe everything that the news media wants him to!

What do you mean by that statement?

What does the news media want me to believe?

Tools are good?

Craftsman tools are better?

Non-rusty tools are best (blueing solution)?

I kinda came up with the above on my own.
