This helps people understand why it's not cheap to get a firearm re-blued properly... Big investment in time, space, equipment, skill and effort. Your clip was extremely enjoyable to watch. Regards from Australia.

I really appreciate your efforts in making this content available for a rookie gunsmith like me to learn from. Thanks and keep up the tremendous work!

Simply put, you my sir are a legend! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and supporting the firearms community.

My friend you are a perfectionist and that is something I really admire. GREAT JOB.

This guy is a master! Id be proud to have one of my guns refinished in his shop!

Thanks for the video Scottie! I really enjoy watching your Gunsmithing videos

Excellent video, very informative. I ordered the Dicropan IM kit last week along with some other supplies. I have been trying to read up and research all the information I could get about this. I talked to the gun techs a couple of weeks ago and decided that I would go with Dicropan IM for the amount of work that I do. Thank you again for taking the time to produce these videos.

Scotty a great tutorial on this product thanks sharing your tips and techniques.

Scott, your amazingly knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. Thanks

Thanks for the video, Scottie. I have used Dicropan IM and could not figure our where I went wrong. This is very helpful as I work only on my own rifles. Love what you do...

Shew! That was a long video. I watched it all though! I really liked the look after the second coat. Kind of a smoked chrome. Awesome work as usual Scotty!

I normally do stuff like this myself, but you Sir I would gladly pay. Very professional!

You sir, are not only a true pro, but an artist !

Perfect example of cleanliness is godliness.... beautiful job 🤠👍

No idea how I got here. But I have to comment that this guy is an amazing craftsman!

Thanks very much for sharing these instructions and your experience.

Great video Scotty! 🇺🇸

Good work Scott ! Thank you for the education.

👍🏻👍🏻 thanks Scott for the knowledge great videos btw

When folks watch these videos they get an idea of why it costs what it does to have gun blue work done.

Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the video. I followed this instruction to reblue a worn out pistol. It turned out pretty good for my first try. I was very watchful to prevent water from getting on the work, which meant throwing away my hose/cotton applicators or steel wool if there was a chance of water contamination. A gunsmith advised me that Dicropan was better for Colts, for original color.

Bluing is all about attention to detail. Period. Followed by taking pride your work. Great video and excellent work. 🎩♠️☯️

Your videos are the best I’ve seen on gun smithing. When I need work done I’ll be contacting you.

Master Smith, not many guys out there that are this good anymore

Awesomely informative 👌

That was an awesome presentation. Great detail and you left no room for doubt. Yes it's a lot of work, but anything worth doing is worth doing well. Not to mention the added work of creating the video. Thank you!

Scott you are a true craftsman I would definitely bring you one of my firearms to restore for me, please use a respirator instead of a dust mask not too many craftsman like you left you need to stick around be careful with all those chemical vapors. Talk soon.

Great video

Nice work sir

Thank you for the great video, you are a true craftsman!

You are the best!!!!!!

I would ship my family heirloom to him no questions asked ,an you know u was geting a top line job ,like she just came ftom the factory,sir u are a professional,👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Beautiful work if anything is done properly it takes time. If you don’t spend the time you get to do it again and again. Which takes more time.

AWESOME!!!!

Great video! What needs to be done to the bores afterwards?

Thank you for the video Scott! One question: I can see where this would be ideal for solid steel barrels (like a Vulcan or Trojan steel Parkers), but are there special processes that need to be done for damascus barrels? THANKS!

very informetiv thanks allot

Yes, I now see the equipment. Scott is a woodworker, metalworker, gun engineer and a chemist!

They look great, but what do you use cover the soft solder along the ribs, where the bluing doesn't take to it ,is there a product available to blacken the soft solder?

Valuable info from a great craftsman!

I’m happy I found you I do small stuff touch ups and the like but your tips and tricks really opened up a new world if I get set up on a bigger scale like you will I get all these sir people to call me sir too? how far are ya from Johnson City? Just wondering and thanks for everything! Sir! Great stuff Scotty

Excellent Video that should be included with the Dicropan Instructions, Thanks. Could this finish technique be used on a Belgian Damascus barrel made in1800? The gun is a small bore (1/2 inch) side by side, muzzle loading Fowler with soft soldered ribs. The Damascus patterns in the barrels and upper rib are stunningly beautiful, but have shallow rust in places without pitting. I would like to preserve/ enhance the Damascus pattern. The gun was made in the Tuscany region of Italy with Belgian Proof marks on the barrel, but no Maker's Mark. The gun is hand crafted with Gorgeous relief carvings of faces in floral into a German walnut burl. Again Thx for any advice.

After the 909 you rinse in hot or cold water? Great job and videos thanks.

Change gloves is a good idea, I do after using steel wool

A must see video, for everyone that asks why it cost so much to blue a barrel.

🙏🍀

Number öne perfect 😊😊❤

Great job!! Do you think is it possible rust bluing a carbon knife?

I look at your shop like a kid at the gates of Disney world.

Thank you Scott... How much do you charge for hot bluing and the Dicropan?

How do you tell if the barrel is soft solder or silver soldered? Excellent Thanks

Are you using tap water or distilled water for your hot water boiling?

What method of blueing would you consider to give the best rust protection? My guts says the good old rust bluing. And I guess the correct answer is the weapon that's well oiled...?

Been trying to call to set up appointment to gets some guns done

You work for the money

Scott what happens to bore when you do all these steps in rust bluing. Do u do anything to it???

Does it hurt anything to get a little water on it between steps?

great vid could you use a carding wheel instead of steel wool

Real nice work Scott how do I git in touch I have a gun restore

How do I get in touch with you to get some work done

Was this filmed in Georgia?

What if you can't get the Brownells.com HOLD Rust what is the next best thing to use? Brownells.com is backordered right now

I am still trying to figure out... should I or should I not get it wet?

Could you just use a carding wheel on a bench polisher?

Does it help it any to use the heat gun?

Can you send me a link so i can buy Dicropan IM because i cant find it anywhere.

I need more info on tanks and what was in them

Hola Poboy

I dont think you covered this but you dont want any water to touch it when youre using the steel wool. I thought you might of wanted to stress that in the video. Lol

What’s 909

what is 909?

No disrespect to you scottie but there is absolutely no way id drill two holes in the rib, no way at all, i`m also not 100% convinced of using this blacking solution from Brownhills, i`d need to be able to see for myself before I gave a verdict, Having said that, I know you caustic blue and your blueing is good so if your say this is good then Ive got to think its ok but i still want to see for myself

if you have correkt email addrees

Sell it to the UK and Europe then!

So, he calls the boiling tank, "the boiling tank", ok, got that. The rinse tank he calls "the rinse tank", um, ok, got that one as well. So what the hell is up with the other tank he keeps calling the "909 tank"? Everything else is self explanatory, but what the hell is 909?
