FAQ’S: (Also, See the New FAQ’s Page)

Q: Hello, I am interested in your Color Case Hardening Kit, for an old savage 99 Rifle I am restoring, The lever was case hardened, but it’s entirely gone, and your product might be the answer. However, i believe your product needs a clear coat to complete the finish…correct? I’m not a fan of shiny clear coats, and was wondering if a Satin Lacquer like Min-Wax’s Satin Lacquer could be used instead of Automotive gloss clear-coat? let me know. Thanx, Don

A: Hi Donald,

Yes! By all means, any clear-coat, sealer, wax or even oil can be used. If the firearm will be subjected to a lot of handling or exposure to UVA/UVB light, (Sunlight), a high-quality UV-Inhibiting clear-coat is best. And, the gloss factor of the clear-coat (if used), is entirely a personal preference. All Automotive Clear-Coats that are 2-Part (Clear + Catalyst), Can be Flattened to Your Personal Preference.

Thanks for the question. It was a good one! Bill (update 11/6/17…I’ve recently been using RENAISSANCE WAX as a sealer…it’s Amazing!)

Q: ”Hello, I was wondering what size and which products are needed to case harden color a 28 inch rifle barrel and a few other small parts. Also, what is the standard way to finish the process? Does it get sealed with something or is it like a traditional cold bluing process? Rob J.

A: Hi Rob,

Hi Rob,

The Case-Hardening Patina Process is Similar to Cold Bluing, but Much Easier in My Opinion. And Both Processes, When Complete, Should be Oiled, Waxed or Otherwise Sealed to Prevent Further Discoloration and Oxidation (Rust). There are 6-8 Videos on the Use of Case-Hardening Patinas, on my Videos Page/s.

And, Here’s a Link to the Color Case Hardening Playlist on my YouTube Channel:

The Gel Patina Colors You Choose are up to you, but Customer Favorites are BLUE/BLACK F/X™ GEL, FLAME F/X™ GEL & BLUE HALO™ GEL.

Also, You Now Have the Choice of a New Product Called, “STAINLESS F/X™“, Which Works Equally Well on Carbon Steel, is Quickly Becoming my Personal ‘Top Pick’, as it’s Extremely Easy & the Results are Fabulous!

Thanks,

Bill

p.s. It’s hard to say exactly how much you’ll need, but certainly 4 oz. each of 3 Colors should be plenty. Or the 8 oz. Kit of STAINLESS F/X™ Patina, which is 4 oz. of Surface Prep & 4 oz. of the Patina.

Q: I’m in Need of a Product Which is Equivalent to Hoppes® No 9™ Gun Bluing for my sons and I. I would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to offer. Thank you. Michael H., 2/2/17

Hi Michael,

I have a Cold Bluing Product Called, GUN BLUE F/X™. BLUE/BLACK F/X™ GEL Would Be a Great Choice, Too. You might try a small bottle of either of those products & see how it compares. I haven’t used Hoppe’s® #9™ Gun Blue in a very long time, (25+ Years), so I can’t say how close the results would be.

The Whole Trick to Cold Gun-Bluing Success is in the Prep. Try to get the steel polished to an almost mirror or chrome shine, making sure it’s Completely De-Greased (Don’t Use Any Solvents for That!) Use my Grime Git’r™, Barkeeper’s Friend™ or Denatured Alcohol…Vodka is a Great De-Greaser, Too!). Rinse Thoroughly With Clean, Fresh Water, Remove Excess Water, or Dry (That’s Personal Preference), Then Apply the Cold-Bluing Product as Directed.

Subsequent Burnishing* with #0000 Steel Wool, or a Very, Very Fine Scotchbrite® Pad and Subsequent Applications May be Necessary to get the Depth of Color You Want.

”Hello, I am a gunsmith in MO. I am interested in your products for faux case coloring. Can the colors by removed if the pattern doesn’t turn out right? Also, what clear coat do you recommend! Can Dura Coat clear be used? Thanks
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi Craig,

Yes, the patina coloration can be removed by using #000 or #0000 Steel Wool. Or, if you have a buffer, you can remove it with a non-woven wheel. I use a 3M 7SF, 6″X1″ wheel on my buffing machine.

I’ve never used Dura-Coat, but I’ve heard of it. I think that would be a good choice. As long as the clear-coat or sealant isn’t water-based, you’ll be fine.

I use PPG DELTRON DC3000 or SprayMax 2k Aerosol, both are 2-part clears. But I use them only on parts that aren’t affected by any tolerance/fit change. Applied in the normal, suggested manner of 2 wet-coats, you will develop a dry film-thickness of 1.6mil-2.1 mil and that can be a conflict with some parts fitment.

thanks,

Bill

  Bill,
  I’m an FFL licensed and certified gunsmith. I specialize in repair, restoration and renovation of older firearms and relics. I’ve revived late 1800’s S&W top-break Schofield’s to WWII Japanese Arisaka’s and late model Remington rolling block rifles and shotguns using various products and some parts I’ve had to machine on the lathe.
  
  I recently used your BLUE-BLACK F/X Gel Patina to blend and match the case hardened finish of a beautiful 1927 Ithaca double barreled shotgun that someone had used Brasso and stripped some of the bluing away from the receiver. Your product did an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier nor could my client.
  
  Thank you for creating such a valuable product. I don’t know how this product will stand the test of time in the field because he uses it for duck hunting and it will get quite a bit of exposure to the elements. I’ve treated the shotgun afterwards with Frog-Lube and hopefully that will provide some additional protection form the elements.
  
  I’ve attached a couple of photos for you to see the finished product. The flash from the light made some areas appear or be too lite but it has a consistent patina that blends and matches the original finish rather well.
