    Blue Wonder from Midway or Oxpho-Blue from Brownells.

    I tried Birchwood-Casey Super Blue yesterday on a Slide and it looks all screwed up.

    And I even read the instructions first.

    I have used a couple of products get Blue Wonder,I got mine from [www.thefiringpin.com]They ship fast.The Birchwood Casy brand is miles behind BlueWonder.BW does not stick to factory blueing so you don't have to worry about damaging the finish.I recently Reblued a P-38 and it looks good,and touched up the barrel on a Mossberg pump.The instructions say to heat up the metal,don't use a torch like is suggested by some.Use a good hair drier set on high.Get the gun cleaner it is great.Only complaint is I got the large size kit,and it is suppose to do 4-6 complete pistols but only had enough in it to complete the above projects.CW

    It blends fine.If you don't put enough on the first time around it looks like the edges are a little worn,like light holster wear.Remember to shake the bottle alot.The Mossberg barrel I did had the blueing was worn and scuffed.I can't make out the line between old and new blue.Be sure to get the cleaner too.CW
