[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1682095, member: 78056"] I've used oxphoblue and the greenish Birchwood Casey cold blue for touch up for many years. Both work well for touch up but require many 'coats' to cover an entire rifle, otherwise the finish will vary in color a great deal. Careful degreasing is a must for an even color. Plus different parts can 'take' the blueing differently, again requiring many coats of the touch up. Warming definitely helps! In the long run, if you're not picky about it looking perfect. If you want perfect, take it to a gunsmith with real hot blue capability. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
