Default Black Oxide Finishes Opinions please



Opinions please:

I'm wanting to finish some of the things I make at home with
a black oxide type coating. It looks like the options
are Birchwood Casey, CaswellPlating and the ToolBlack
sold in Enco and others. Cold type. Any others I've missed?

Is there anyone of these better than the other?
Strong and weeks points worth considering?

The only thing I've tried is the lye/fertilizer mix
which I couldn't get hot enough to work well.
Kind of dangerous boiling lye also.

Tnks
