I can't find any here and no one seems able to ship to NZ? Home recipes so far seem to either have hydrogen peroxide in them or require me to buy a lot of ingredients when I'm only doing one rifle.
What is everyone using?

Contact garyp
Im interested.
Pls post the recipe if you get a good one.
When I had rust come through on my old rifle, I just got it cerakoted. The colour that it was done in looked essentially the same as the original blueing. The other plus is that it is way more durable than blueing and protects against rust better
I had a look at a cerakoted rifle, nice but I prefer the look of the original rust blue - particularly for the job at hand. Garyp sorted me out with solution
I bought an old book years ago about dozens and dozens of home made recipes for bluing solutions and how to apply them. It must be buried somewhere in stuff I left in Scotland.
I don’t remember the tittle, but at least it exists.
@akaroa1 are you able to post a couple of recipes?
@Rambo-6mm has the best recipe
The old recipes are really difficult to use because of the different names they used
But I will have a look for one that maybe doable
Here's one out of Roy F Dunlap's book (c 1950). Know nothing about it, effectiveness, difficulty getting chems etc.
He also wrote screads on prep.

I imagine you standing in your shed looking like a smurf, holding a wooden spoon with the roof missing and the bomb squad coming up the road. :)Quote:
