Pros & Cons
Pros
Metal prep is everything. Use emory cloth to prepare surfaces and 0000 steel wool for burnishing. Warm them up and drop em in a small container of mix solution and fish em out in 20 minutes.
Very easy to use. Lots of good demos on youtube. Nice wide mouth bottle makes it easy to dip small parts, too!
Cons
The seller promotes 3day shipping which turns into at least seven days after you pay for shipping! Maybe the cream is better.
Used almost half the bottle before realizing it wasn't ever going to turn blue. The liquid runs off unless you have a tank, and this whisky glass size bottle would be ridiculous to try to fill any size tank.
Highlights
Quality
Works as intended oil residual does affect performance great product for touch up and repairs to gun finish
Easy to use and covers extremely well
Unfortunately i did not make a good choice on the material the barrel was resting against
I dont remove any of the old bluejust get the surface rust offwipe down with acetone and go over every inch of the metalold blue and all
Price
I followed each cost of cold blue with 0000 steel wool which smoothed out the surface and removed any blotches
Shipping
But shipper sent with no cap on it
Competitiveness
In my brief experience this brownell oxphoblue product performs better than both formula 4440 and birchwood perma blue
As far as cold blues go this is one of the better ones
I like it better than other brands i have used
The other products previously mentioned act as if theyre slightly diluted in comparison to brownells oxphoblue
