Birchwood Casey Paste Blue

[roundball]

Just got in a new tube of Birchwood Casey's Paste Blue...and wanted to be sure all of you know to follow the directions on the package:

"Do not drink Birchwood Casey's Paste Blue solution"

I kid you not...printed right on the back of the product!

:nono:

Because it's a paste and must be chewed :crackup:
Well I guess somewhere along the line somebody must have drank some or it would not warn you not to.
WOW :shocking:

He does a great bit about stupid warnings like that. Silica desicant packs that say do not eat and the like. (Shucks, I think they taste like Chiclets.) :yakyak:

BTW, ff:does that paste work any better than the other cold blue products.

I have extremely limited experience with any form of 'home bluing'...but after trying liquid and paste for minor little touchups, I came away feeling the paste was a little more controllable enough to order a second tube (had the first one for 10yrs)...I usually just use a q-tip to touch up around a sight base that's been drifted, etc, etc...I'm about as handy with that sort of thing as a one armed wall paper hanger, so if I'm able to use it, it must have something going for it ::

is that the stuff you apply and add heat to it and rub off to bring out the blue? I thought someone came out with a product that you apply and add a heat source to it and the blue appeared and was supposed tp be quite durable. bb75

No...I just rub it on a little at a time to darken something to the degree that I need...only used it a few times over the years...seems fine as far as durability goes.

One time I was restoring an old break action .410 that looked like the bottom of the barrel had dragged across a barbed wire fence or something...didn't gouge the metal but had a very long light scratch in the bluing exposing the metal...wiped it clean with acetone, then used a piece of cloth with a dab of paste blue at a time and in just a couple minutes took care of the whole thing.
