Bluing Dies

[EDG]

I bought a 6oz spray can of Barricade and it took me about 12 years to use it up on my loading dies.
I have more than 100 sets of dies. Each time a set is used I clean them out and give them a tiny shot of Barricade inside and out. Then store them. When I use them the next time I give them a fresh shot of Barricade internally and wipe out the interior with an old scrap of T shirt. Result is many years of zero rust on my dies.

You should try Birchwood Casey Barricade. It's almost a miracle worker.

I live in humid eastern NC and it all but eliminates rust on my dies.

If you have rust just dip the dies in Evaporust, rinse them really well with water, spray them off with some carb cleaner to make sure there is absolutely no water, then coat the entire die in the Barricade. Let it sit for a little while then wipe off the excess.

I don't get any rust on my dies since I have coated them with Barricade. Occasionally when the dies get dirty or build up some lube inside ill fully clean them and barricade them again. Works really well for me.

This is what I use and it works well.
