Thread: Cold bluing - wheelchair projects

I've done myself a mischief and I'm now stuck in a wheelchair for the next 6 weeks. No hunting at least till next year 
So I've been looking for some projects I can do from the chair, and having a go at stock refinishing and cold bluing seems like a great idea.
I have a couple questions regarding it however.
I had a test run on an old single shot 22 and the Birchwood casey perma blue that came in the refinish kit I got is not a dark bluing at all, so I ordered some super blue in the post. Can I super blue over the perma blue, or will I have to strip it and start again?
Second question: rinsing off after coats is proving difficult in the chair, would a bucket of water wet a wet rag suffice?
Question three: One really old rifle in desperate need of some love is quite heavily pitted in some areas and I don't see anyway of getting it back to smooth shiny metal, will this affect the cold bluing or will It be fine to go ahead?

Cheers..... I'm also thinking about keeping an eye out for an old .303 dirt cheap (in Chch) to play around with as another project to practice restoring old guns if anyone sees anything really cheap!
