When you started the bluing, did you rinse off with water after each bluing application, dry and and then continue to apply the bluing?
Or did you just apply the bluing once?
.
I covered the receiver with the bluing liquid, let drip off for about 10-20 seconds and then rinsed with cold water. My first attempt it looked as if the the bluing was puddling so I took the steel wool to it and reapplied the two different bluing liquids. Did not dry it until I was happy with the look of the blue. Once it was almost dry I wiped it down with supplied oil wipes in the kit but I didn’t like it’s coverage so I sprayed the whole receiver with Breakfree. Let that soak in for about half an hour to a hour and then wiped the excess off. Then I let it cure for two days before I reinstalled anything.
