Thanks for the quick reply!

i will browse the archives a bit and find what i am looking for.

EDIT:

i have looked around for a bit and learned that i can remove the bluing with white vinegar. i will not sand the parts if not neccesary because i dont want to make the parts look new and shiny.

i do have one more question. i can see that there are several ways to straw parts. i saw the diagram that showed that i need about 230 degrees celsius to get the light golden color needed. but should i use an oven. a lighter or a propane torch? i know to quench the part in oil but i could use some advice on this because i dont want to do things wrong.

thanks again.
