Bluing Touch Up

[1942farmall]

Last weekend I changed the rear barrel mounted sight on one of my guns to a Skinner barrel mounted peep. This particular gun is blued.
The bluing under the area covered by the factory sight was just slightly scratched and the Skinner sight doesn't quite cover the scratches.
Anybody used Brownell's Oxpho Blue or the Birchwood Casey gel blue to touch up a scratched area?
I was afraid it may affect the factory bluing if I overlap slightly when applying.
Thanks

It shouldnt affect whats there. Just neutralize things good when done and oil. That said, it may not match the original very well. Ive touched up barrel rubs and not gotten great results, so I dont try anymore. I just keep the steel oiled and alls fine.

They are really pretty minimal and most would ignore them.
I'm just OCD and it's a brand new 1000.00 rifle. Thanks for the feedback.

Hate to be that guy, but such content does not belong on this site. There was a time, not long ago that this would have been taken down immediately

Then don't be that guy.
I suppose I could have lied or omitted the details of the weapon.
I had a simple question on bluing touch up and figured since I posted it on the gun builder tab that fellas may have used the noted products and had experience.
Sorry if I offended anybody.

Not to worry, I edited the posts. They now comply and your question may be answered without any further problems. The missing details will not matter.

Use the oxpho blue it works great. My go to blue fixer.

Ahhh, much better... Oxpho Blue should work just fine, doubt it will change the factory blue but if it does you will be able to buff it back to original.

for extremely small areas (like scratches) I've used a sharpie marker at times. Mark it, and then wipe it off before it dries. The color stays in the scratch.
