Since I’m probably the least coordinated person alive, the paste seems a better alternative as I tend to ALWAYS turn over any liquid container I get near.. glad to know there is a paste available! Great video!

@357magdad 2 жыл бұрын

Good point John! You can't spill the paste, just don't mix it up with your toothpaste😁

@patrickmeyer1967 2 жыл бұрын

I can see where a paste blueing as opposed to liquid would be an advantage. If only a section of a piece is to be blued , there is less chance of it accidentally migrating to the not-to=be=blued part. Nice job on the nail sets.

Thanks Patrick. I've had good success applying the liquid blue with a small paint brush.

Excellent job as always! I REALLY like the bluing application on older tool restorations! Looks more authentic for an old tool!

@357magdad 2 жыл бұрын

Certain old tools do look better blued.

I like the way you restored that nailset. It looks great and will be a useful tool for decades. I tend to like lighter, metal colored tools but I have to say the blued nailsets have a nice appearance. Thanks

Nice! Just ran out of super blue this week... I only do 2 coats as well with the liquid type.. haven't used the paste...but it seems you be able to control where it goes easier in certain applications where you...well where I'm to lazy to tape off. 🤠 gooder than good as always! Enjoyed it! Thank ya sir!

Good review. The paste seems to give a darker finish. But that could very well be the extra layer.

The paste finish is supposed to be more durable too.

I like the slightly blacker shade of the 3 coat paste process for the punch, but I think the thinner application of Super Blue might look better on a bike frame.

I think the paste might give a more even finish on something big like a gun barrel or a bike frame.

They all look great, in my amateur opinion. What does the manufacturer claim is the advantage for the paste bluing?

It is supposed to build up a denser finish and be more durable than the liquid.
