I don't have one handy but will check soon.

Also not being a trained gunsmith I don't know how you would go about keeping areas "in the white" during the process. Maybe covering them with some sort of lacquer and degrease with water based detergents? Usually I degrease parts with break cleaner and then card with steel wool wet with acetone to further fight oil. Both of those products would remove just about anything applied to block the rust bluing.
