    Sorry if it come out like I was contradicting you. I was just trying to warn people not to skip the water step.
    No problem. The rinsing is the make or break for this process.

    I like the Birchwood Casey paste blue myself. Seems to be more durable than the liquid types and give a good, dark blue.
    Works especially well if you slightly warm the surface you are bluing.

    Hey guys, I know that this thread is a few months old, but I figured I'd ask since I'm looking at re-bluing a .22lr rifle (marlin model 80) that I received from a family member who passed away. It's a little worse-for-wear and I'd like to restore it a bit. Is there a problem with using this stuff on large portions of a rifle? Like the picture below?

    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
