Hello: Just finished re-doing my KelTech P3AT slide with your blue and was very happy with it, and plan on ordering more to redo my Colt 1911 slide. Just a tip for what it's worth. After using the Van's as a dip for the KelTec slide for several minutes, I removed the slide, re-heated it, and then applied Fiebing's petroleum-based permanent black leather dye. The results were dramatic, almost as good as the Remington BDL factory blueing. Much darker color and perfectly even than with just your blueing. Upon drying, buffing and oiling, no residue. The Fiebing's didn't come off.

  3. Tried the Fiebings trick today, without good results. Black rubbed right off... perhaps I didn't finish it off right?
