rebluing:side plate
Hi All, I need to reblue a sideplate, which is already reblued. Is there any way that I can remove the old blueing without any form of scrapping with glasspaper, sort of something chemical?
Thanks for any Help Alf

I thank you all, but since I am in Europe I can't import these products due to USA restrictions on export of these products.
I was looking for something domestic that I can buy or prepare locally. Alf.

The Blue and Rust remover contains diluted(?) Phosphoric acid. Perhaps you could obtain some in Europe and experiment with it to find the correct ratio.
