This video revisits cold bluing techniques, specifically using Brownell's Oxpho Blue, favored for its forgiving nature and ability to blue over existing finishes. The process involves meticulous degreasing with isopropyl alcohol, careful application of Oxpho Blue using cotton balls and forceps, and buffing with 0000 steel wool over multiple coats. Final sealing with Kano Kroil oil protects the new finish.
