This Oxpho-Blue was easily applied with a cotton swab and dries quickly. Did not run with a damp swab. Perfect for touching up sights or any other edges that are worn or scratched. It dries quickly. A couple of applications and it is very black. Although the name says “blue” that is the chemical process and NOT the color. The liquid is pale blue but turns flat black in seconds when applied to metal. A few drops on two swabs fully covered a rear sight for two coats. Instructions say you can polish with very fine steel wool. I just wiped dry with a cloth and it was a nice flat matte black. Highly recommend for this purpose.

Este producto es para pavonar. Es muy bueno en la mayoria de los aceros comerciales. Para obtener un buen acabado hay que dar varias manos: entre 8 y 10.

I originally bought this to address some surface rust on a Ruger 10/22 barrel. The barrel wasn't damaged beyond saving, but it had enough rust speckling that I was trying to decide whether it could be restored or if replacement was the better option. I'm glad I tried Oxpho-Blue first. I'll be the first to admit that refinishing metal isn't my strongest DIY skill, so I wasn't expecting professional results. What surprised me most was how forgiving and easy the product was to use. After removing the rust and prepping the surface, I applied roughly six coats. The solution went on evenly, blended well between applications, and gradually built up a finish that looked far better than I expected. The end result wasn't identical to a factory hot-blued finish, but it was close enough that the barrel went from looking neglected to looking presentable again. From a practical standpoint, it completely saved me from having to replace the barrel. A few things I liked: easy application process even color development good results without specialized equipment effective for touch-ups and restoration work affordable compared to replacing parts It's important to keep expectations realistic. Cold bluing is not the same as a factory blued finish, and I wouldn't expect it to match the durability of a professionally applied coating. But that's also not really the point. For me, this product filled the gap between: doing nothing and living with rust replacing an otherwise serviceable part paying for professional refinishing If you have a firearm with light surface rust, worn bluing, or cosmetic damage, this is an inexpensive and surprisingly effective option to try before moving on to more drastic and expensive solutions. In my case, it exceeded expectations and gave new life to a barrel that I was seriously considering replacing.

Brownells Oxpho-blue liquid works great for touch up work on rifles and handguns, if you're doing a complete rebluing job I recommend the Brownells Oxpho-blue cream.bogh products are far better than the other types of blueing products
