lamarvalley Posted May 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2013 I've never blackened SS but when I was l looking into how to blacken metals such as copper cannons and such a few weeks ago I came upon a product for SS while googling around.

PaatPiriet Posted September 21, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 21, 2013 I have been using "Super Blue" for years now and is really the best I found to age all kind of metals. You can buy this in any Gun store, It is used clean and shine weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
