Didn't I say "try a sample area"? Do you know that it won't work?

My experience with bluing in the machine shop says it won't work, and a
bit of googling more or less confirms that, although I did just find
some references that say if stainless is acid etched it can be hot blued.

Gun bluing is not the same as bluing used in a machine shop (which IS
blue). Gun "blue" is black.

I think it's the same thing, which is very dark blue that almost looks
black unless you compare it to something that's actually black. I'm
*not* talking about Dykem, the blue (or sometimes red) layout ink.
