w. brearley: okay...read the instructions and they are correct. With prep....do your prep...then when you think you are ready do prep three more times. Was not using on gun refinish rather on an old vice and some tools. The prep with this really made the old metal beautiful! Then remember when using the bluing it says to leave on a SHORT time....don't walk away....just follow the instruction and can be used to clean old tools, etc. used on vice, cutters, sledge hammer, and other old family tools and they look great now. Sorry if someone wants review for gun...can only tell you on those old metal tools.

AlvarAlvar: The swabs are awful for working on large pieces if you're wanting an even blue finish, so if you are blueing blades, I suggest you have a puffy microfiber towel used for automotive maintenance instead of the little swabs, because this blue chemical acts real fast, meaning you want to apply it all at once which isn't really possible. In general, I thought the instructions complicated some steps while not being descriptive enough on other steps. I ended up watching people use this stuff on YouTube to get a better idea how it works since I never used it before.

Despite nearly getting a disastrously uneven finish on my Musashi katana, I think the results are rather beautiful and achieved close enough to my goal of making my sword become blue, as it is blue depending on the light angle and intensity. I don't feel the need to upload a ton of pictures of my sword and bushcraft knives, but I upload one image of my sword to show you, which is after I used metallic markers and sword oil to coat the blade. I know some people find it taboo to treat the handle section but I really don't care about letting my handle rust in order to prove its age, so that too was blued, colored, and very...

Heather: Easy to use and looks great but scuffs and scratches way easier than the original blue on the rifle. Barely touch it with something hard and it seems to nick the finish off. Hot bluing is still a much better way to go and will look better than this kit can perform. Not matter how much I cleaned, scrubbed and polished with steel wool, there was some areas that just didnt want to take the bluing as well.

Patricia B.: I found a gun, it is 100 years old, it had been stored in a closet for more than 50 years untouched. It actually had more staining than rust, however once cleaned and left to dry out it began to rust terribly. I opted for this product.
1) I’m not an armorer, but with ease I was able to take the gun completely apart. This began the cleaning phase, my effort was of course to physically clean the gun, 3 days later I opened the cleaner and began the process of removing all the oils from me, easy task, no issues, everything went perfectly.
2) Now we begin removing the original blueing and any rust that was left. Okay I had watched a video, and with all the reviews cleanliness is the most important thing. This product worked amazing with a rag I basically just wiped the gun chrome, of course I used steel wool, with little effort, I could now see the original metal, and was about to work the tough spots and any dings I could find. Two days later, all the way through 1200 grit sandpaper and the green buffing compound and an industrial buffing wheel I could see myself perfectly in all of the metal, funny but everyone who saw it thought it looked beautiful chrome.

Amazon Customer: Product did a great job! My 1965 rifle looks brand new from 5 feet away. Any closer your can see my mistakes.

A few tips I will say:
-put all solutions into a small bowl, don't dip applicator into the bottle because it will contaminate the whole bottle.
-After decreasing for bluing, a bit of acetone helps a lot to clean and evaporate and water.
-For the bluing solution it's easier to use a facial pad or something other than the stick applicator provided. Makes it less likely to streek.
-don't try to do large pieces like the barrel in 2 sections at a time; you will never be able to blend it in smooth and will be able to see exactly the 2 sections. Just do the whole barrel at once and tape off the receiver to avoid runs.

Amazing product gave new life to my old firearm and it really looks great! Love it

Tigershark1968: This kit provides most of what you will need to do a fantastic blue job on your firearm. You'll need a bit more sand paper, but that's a given in this sort of thing. Anyone that has ever done a professional looking job will tell you that preparation early on is everything to getting the best results. If you want say a shotgun barrel to look like you paid serious dough to blue it, then sand, sand, sand, sand away. What you are looking for is a mirror finish in the metal before you put the blue on. Use various different grades of sand paper, steel wool and synthetic steel wool pads to get that metal as smooth and shiny as you can. Then degrease it and only then blue it. If you blue a barrel that you got so silvery and shiny that you could see you in the reflection, then you are going to be extremely happy with the results. I've blued over 50 of my firearms over the years. Doing the early on extra work prepping the metal is everything to getting the best you can possibly do. So do not rush this when you go for it. All the unhappy people rushed it. Start from finish it should take you days, not hours to do this properly. The rifles I own that people can't believe I blued myself all...
