I heard a gunsmith saying to heat the metal up a little before applying it..... like hair dryer heat, not blow torch!

Now just make sure to oil the shit out of it, and if possible let it set in oil over night or longer. Helps to reduce and possible rusting as some of the cold blues seem to promote a little.

FWIW, I've heard that G96 has a cold blue product that works particularly well. |

I think LastRites should check his disconnect.
