I did this to a savage of mine about 5 years ago. I left it overnight in the shop and it rusted like mad!!!! Its been in the rain, snow and sitting the shop for 5 years now. Just the other day I took a wire brush wheel and removed all the ust from the barrel and action. I also took and cleaned the crud of the nickel plated trigger assemble. I will definitely blue it again once I remove the rust pits and I will do it right this time!
Just done a Lanber O/U 12 Bore barrel with this kit. Perfect finish. Very pleased with the result.
Im about to breath some new life into a thrashed old SKS i have.
You should try Birchwood Casey's Super Blue, it is double the strentgh and gives a lovely finish, I done the complete barrels of my gun, I am well impressed with it.
You do not have to heat the barrel at all before bluing this is one of the reasons why this kit is so simple to use
Wayne, a blow drier should dry it out ok. One thing you will need to consider is making sure the metal is completely covered during the blueing process. if you don't take apart the gun completely you may miss some rust spots or have some coverage issue. You may want to try blueing first without disassemble then look over the gun to see if it requires to be taken apart completely.
The final color will depend on how long you leave the solution on before rinsing. If you don't like the color, you can always repeat the process and try for a different color.
This process is very durable and will last you many years of use in the field. I cant give you an exact time but if its left indoors it shouldn't need to be blued again. One thing that will keep the barrel better protected is using the Barricade wipes after each time the gun is used.
If you have deep pitting try sanding with a slightly coarser grit sandpaper and see if that helps.
I am looking at fixing up a few of my H&R revolvers I picked up on the gunbroker. Would be nice to get that rust off of them.
That might work ok. Just be careful when applying the Blue and Rust remover that it doesn't run to a part that is exposed that you don't want reblued.
Thanks, well I bought it and applied it to a hatchet. It turned out nice. I had trouble at first getting it to coat the metal evenly, but that's probably just because the metal was textured. It had two little spots of what I believe was black rust so I removed as much rust as possible. When the Perma Blue touched it, it turned bright blue and then a rusty brown color. Is that what happens when it touches rust? Also I can't get the smell of the Blue & Rust Remover solution off? Is that normal?
Thanx for the info bud!
realy cool kit! need my k98 look like new it's kinda rusty
It may be from not cleaning it well enough initially. Make sure to thoroughly clean the metal.
Will this work if i just need to touch up a few spots on my mosin? Under part of the barrel so a perfect match is not required.
Can I use this process to just a few spots on my barrel.
well my hand standard hb was a total mess
no blue left and lots of oxid....
could take all of the oxid though but the bluing looks acceptable.
for the before and after and for being my first time bluing im satisfied.
How long would this last if the barrel was left indoors? and how long will it last if left outdoors protected from rain?
Yes you can, but it may be hard to get a consistent blued finish.
I have a remington 742 reciever made in 1979 that I want to reblue . Will your product reproduce the original factory blueing ?
The rusty color may be from not cleaning the metal enough. Spend lots of time cleaning and removing the old blueing and rust.
can i do this on a barrel that has not ever been blued and is just painted?
so you don't have to heat the barrel at all before you put the bluing on?
Hi Guys I have ordered your product through Ebay-uk I have to blue off some lock parts but the lock will be mounted on an external hate, how can I preserve the finish ? clear coat or use MER auto paint sealer ?
I think I might have rinsed insufficiently and the rifle has a whole bunch of brown/brass colored areas. Almost rusty looking. What can I do to fix it? Use the bluing remover again and try again? Thanks!
So would this work even if I have lots of deep pitting?
I live in an area where iron is very prevalent in the tap water. Rinsing and letting sit for just a minute brought surface rust. Would you recommend distilled water for people who have mineral rich well water?
You may want to try thoroughly cleaning the metal first. This is the point of the process where the biggest difference can be made. Spend some extra time with the cleaner degreaser and make sure to rinse it completely. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thanks, I just fixed a scratch
Does the blue and rust remover work with a gun that's cerekoted?
I have a 60 year old Hi-Standard pistol that I want to re-blue. Beyond removing the slide, I've been advised to minimize dis-assembly. My concern is with the water rinse and how to get the gun completely dry internally between steps. Would a blower drier be adequate?
Can anyone advise-----liquid OR paste------which is better-------currently using liquid---my product results is dark gray not blue???
I tried this product, but my firearm is now a weird dull gray kind of color. I repeated the process 5 or 6 times, and it is still a weird grayish kind of color.I followed the directions to a "T" and never actually touched the weapon with my bare hands. Any advice?
This stuff works but more like a temporary fix. The bluing will start to fade after couple of months.
I know blue looks great, but it's a P.I.T.A to keep looking new... The underneath Carbon Steel is just waiting for an opening to rust away! Solution, you can reblue like this, or simply buy a Stainless Steel finish gun which are more widely available in long guns than ever, not just handguns.
