[TheForge] Gun Black

[Lucky7Steel]

Hi,

thanks for the info.
I don't know if i can get that stuff shipped to Canada though. I know
i can buy a tiny bottle of Gun Blue though but if anyone knows where
to buy patina type stuff in Canada i'd be happy to hear.
Photog607 did you mean using wax to achieve the same effect? With Gun
blue, do you need to do something for a protective coat?
