    Birchwood Casey
    Perma Blue.
    Tell us Magdad,
    "How did it do?"
    "Don't double dip,"
    As Seinfeld would say.
    Might mess up the bottle
    Or make it look gray.
    Use non detergent
    To give it a sheen.
    30W detergent
    Will make it too clean.
    What was the outcome?
    I'll be right back
    With the final edit
    Of me talking smack.
    Ok I'm back.
    What did we find.
    Perma Blue works as well
    As the other kind.
    And then there is Chuck
    That will have three fits
    If 357
    Doesn't use some Flitz.
    From the hot banks of the drought stricken Underwood Branch, thanks for the fun. :-)

    I finally got the nerve to try blueing. Watching you before I thought I had a bottle of your first kind but it was perma blue. Put it on a monkey wrench that had not turned out as well as I wanted. It was in bad shape from the start. I couldn't get it as dark as yours. It seamed to roll off the steal. It looked a little patchy. After two coats I buffed it with steal wool. Made it look a lot better. But some parts didn't get as dark as others. I cleaned it to start but maybe not good or I used a small paint brush. But it came out pretty good. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have found that getting the part super clean is key. Buffing with steel wool between coats seems to help make each coat darker.

      Glen Grossnickle The creme or paste formulas of the various types of bluing don't run much or dry up as quickly as the liquids, and give you a more even result, if you follow the directions carefully as well as 357magdad's bluing tips.

      I'm old man and 4 years BlackSmith and started knives only hobby and friends.
      I'm not making full judgment as I don't know durably yet let's see how they do but belive I'm going try the bluing that gets heated as should be tuffer

    its either something wrong with my bottle or its total junk. I cant get my old gun parts black whatever I do or how clean they are. becomes blotchy and blue. its so random. Then it does nothing if I try a second coat.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've had good success with all of Birchwood Casey's cold bluing products. Make sure the part you are working on is steel. The bluing doesn't work well on aluminum, zinc alloys or stainless steel. I have had parts come out blotchy on the first coat. I am usually able to even out the color with steel wool before re-coating. I've also had to coat some items 3 and 4 times to get the color I wanted.

  • @robcarringer4838

      Thanks for watching! Bridgeport Hardware Mfg dates back to 1895. The company in the same town that made milling machines started in 1938.
