The kit contains the basic tools needed for surface cleaning, old bluing and rust removal, paste application, surface smoothing, and final protection. Additionally, you will need cold water, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and a suitable well-ventilated workspace. What is the difference between Perma Blue paste and liquid? Perma Blue paste darkens more slowly than the liquid version but allows for gradually building up a denser finish. The liquid is more convenient for quick and even application, while the paste gives more control when treating small areas and details. Can the paste be used on stainless steel? No. Perma Blue paste is intended for conventional bluable steel and does not produce the intended result on stainless steel. It is also not intended for aluminum or non-ferrous metals. Does old bluing always need to be completely removed? For small spot repairs, thorough cleaning, rust removal, and degreasing of the damaged area is sufficient. For re-bluing an entire part, the old finish must be evenly removed, as remaining bluing, rust, or oil can cause color variations. Can the kit be used to blue an entire firearm? According to the manufacturer, the kit is suitable for both spot repairs and complete re-bluing of most common steel firearms. The actual coverage depends on the size of the parts, the condition of the surface, and the number of required layers. Is it necessary to heat the part during bluing? No. This is a cold bluing agent, and heating the part is not necessary. Achieving an even result depends more on thorough surface preparation, cleanliness, and precise reaction time. How long should the paste react on the metal? According to the Birchwood Casey instructions, the paste should act for 30–60 seconds, but no longer than one minute. The chemical reaction must then be stopped immediately by thoroughly rinsing with cold water and drying the surface. Is one bluing layer sufficient? The result depends on the steel alloy and surface preparation. For a deeper or more even color, bluing can be repeated. If fine steel wool is used between layers, the metal must be degreased again before the next treatment. Does the blued surface need protection after treatment? Yes. After the final rinse and complete drying, the surface should be coated with Barricade rust protection. The manufacturer recommends letting the new bluing stabilize overnight and repeating corrosion protection regularly thereafter. What precautions should be taken? The kit contains corrosive and hazardous chemicals. Use chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye and face protection. Work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, do not inhale fumes, and keep the products away from children, ammunition, and food. Do not pour chemicals down the drain or into bodies of water. When is the Birchwood Casey Perma Blue Paste Kit the right choice? The kit is a practical choice for users starting with bluing work and who do not want to select all cleaning, removal, application, and protection agents separately. The paste is well-suited for controlled treatment of small details, scratches, and worn spots, but the kit quantities are also sufficient for more extensive work. The Perma Blue Liquid Kit may be more convenient for quickly covering larger and even surfaces. Super Blue is better suited for polished or hardened steel when a particularly dark result is desired. Professional hot bluing is more advisable if you want the most uniform and wear-resistant finish for the entire firearm. Expert recommendation Always start by ensuring the firearm is completely unloaded and remove ammunition from the work area. If possible, remove the part to be treated from the firearm. Protect wood, polymer, aluminum, and non-ferrous metal parts from contact with chemicals. For thorough re-bluing, first clean the metal with Cleaner-Degreaser. Then remove old bluing and rust with Blue & Rust Remover and fine steel wool. When the surface is even, wash the part again with Cleaner-Degreaser and rinse with cold water. After the final degreasing, do not touch the bare metal with your fingers. Apply Perma Blue paste with an applicator in a thin and even layer. For larger surfaces, you can divide them into two or three sections to make it easier to control the reaction time. Allow the paste to react for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with cold water and dry. If necessary, smooth the surface very lightly with fine steel wool, degrease again, and repeat bluing. After achieving the desired tone, dry the surface completely and coat it with Barricade rust protection. Allow the new bluing to stabilize overnight. Do not treat the inside of the barrel, chamber, locking surfaces, safety mechanism, or other precisely fitted internal parts without the guidance of the firearm manufacturer or a qualified gunsmith.
