| I just picked some up to touch up a few scratches. It seemed to work well and quickly. How important is the cold water rinse off and in the end will this stuff stay on and keep its color? |

Perma-blue is a touch-up blue and is suitable only for small areas on steel parts. It has the advantage of being easy and quick to apply; the downside is that it’s not especially durable. It’s great for covering up a scratch or such, but will wear off pretty quickly in a high friction area such as the muzzle of a handgun where it rubs against a holster. In my case at least, it tends to burn my skin. I take great pains to avoid contact with it and usually apply it with a Q-tip. I’ve never found the rinse to be necessary. However, I always polish the touched up area with a clean patch or such and then oil things well. |

DO NOT LICK THE PIN! It will mess you up. It works ok but I like dicropan better. Link to brownells dicropan |
