Gun Bluing Products
Are there any recommended products for bluing ? Not for scratches but general wearing. Do they work ?

It isnt actually bluing, but it does make carbon steel black

I'm really looking for something to "touch up" if there is such a thing.

These videos from Old Path Traveller may be of help -

-using Birchwood Super Blue to reblue a part:

- rust reblueing entire pistol, then uses Birchwood Casey Perma Blue to finish:

Although the second video is really a summary instead of a step-by-step how-its-done, it was still very informative. Especially using the cold blue on top of the rust blue to add more luster.
