New guy with questions...Bluing solutions

Post by sniper » Thu Oct 11, 2007 12:39 am

I have used several cold blue preparations. Brownell's Oxpho Blue works, but is sometimes a bit of a nuisance to apply properly. and Birchwood Casey's Perma Blue seems a little fragile.

Has anyone had experience with Blue Wonder or The Shooter's Solutions preparation(s)? If you had to choose, which of the four would be the easiest to use and get good results, and would be reasonably durable?
Thanks.

I too would like info about this product.

I have found the Birchwood Casey Super Blue superior to both Brownells Oxpho Blue and 44-40 Bluing solutions. I could never get the depth of bluing that I like with the Brownell products. Gently warming the parts did help though. This was not for complete bluing jobs though, Just touch ups.
