was supposed to go for a shoot today but as usual the weather was crap when I have 2 days off so it was a good opportunity to get into the bluing job. Ill admit I'm not that good at it but still keen to try it and get better at it. I put 10 coats on the barrel and then ran out of liquid blue. this time I was rinsing between coats with boiled water to keep the steel warm. For the final coat since I had no liquid left i put a coat of bluing paste on and that seemed to darken it up nicely. now its sitting with a coating of oil on it to cure overnight. then I can reassemble it. Also waiting for some quick detach swivels.
