Blueing Questions
« on: June 13, 2011, 10:44:00 AM »
I recently used the Casey Cold Blue on a couple of pieces of 5160 for accents on a knife. I got fair results.

Do some steels blue better than others because of the alloy mixture?

How should I get started with hot blueing?

Brownells has a book with about 75 ways for blueing or browning.It's not to costly. They also have lots of supplies. Maybe someone will chime in that has hands on advice.
