I tried to touch up the blue on a Cavalry inspected, Cartouched, 7.5" barreled, Single Action Army and used Birchwood Casey's blue remover instead of cold blue!

The good part is that it was a Uberti replica, which I ended up completely antiquing, since I could not duplicate the replica Colt Royal Blue on the cylinder I had ruined. Felt like a durned fool!
(Still, curse Birchwood Casey for providing opposing products in identical containers!!)
