Post Fire blueing

A few evenings ago I decided to see if I could fire blue something. I set a highly polished repro C96 extractor on the orange-hot burner of an electric range and it immediately started turning the desired peacock blue. Took it off after about 20 seconds and let it cool. The blueing was perfect, only it rubbed right off. Is there an easy way to fire blue small parts? KFS
