Andy's Slow Rust Blue

[waksupi]

Is
Andy's Slow Rust Bluestill available? Best one I've used, and would rather buy some and have too much, than run out!

unfortunately no

He had a sale post with his last batch, and saying he won't be doing any more for a while. I should have grabbed a bottle even though I don't have anything that needs blueing.

I've tried those in the past. Andy's is the only one I get a real nice early S&W look.

Say "Thank You", it's the thought that counts!

Just joking! Have a good one, I tried.

I will say I did get a perfect rust brown on a couple of muzzle loaders using it, completely different from the instant "Plum Brown".

Laurel Mountain works well for browning, but I have never got the nice high shine blue like Andys.

Here's another one, but you likely already know about it. But then again, maybe not!

I had almost Andy's results with distilled water, dissolved seasalt(not iodized) at 10% by volume of water, with 3% Hydrogen peroxide by WEIGHT of water.
