    I'll let you guys know how it really works tomorrow night, I just reblued my Colt Woodsman with it, it was the worst gun I have, that could really use it, other than a 7.65 Argentine Mauser, and I wasnt ready to tackle that baby, until I knew for sure this stuff would work. It is suppose to take 24 hours to achieve results, so I will update you tomorrow, cross your fingers.

    MY RESULTS ARE:
    I used this product for my first time yesterday. I am quite happy with the results. Its not a perfect outcome, but I attribute that to my inexperience with the product. This product works beautifully on bare metal, very nice finish! I believe if I were to go over it again I could blend in the areas that needed reblued better with the original finish, but its so close now only people that are picky would care, or someone buying it, but I'm not selling so its ok for me. I used a propane torch to heat up the metal, and I believe I may have got it too hot, I'd recommend using a hair dryer, they suggest either method, but I'd use the hair dryer next time. I buffed out the finished metal with 0000 steel wool when finished and this gun looks about as good as you are going to get it without having it professionally reblued. I have used other methods of cold blueing and there is no way I will ever use them again, not after using this method. I highly recommend this product to anyone interested in touching up a firearm. If you have a firearm with bare metal, or you feel like taking all the existing blue off, this is definitely a product you will want to try. Good Luck!


    I got another email from the fella that owns or runs the company, and he is really nice, I posted it over there also.
