Yea - I should start a new thread on this - but, well - I'm putting it here in this one...

Below - you mentioned "fire" blueing - I presume you are talking about heating parts to a certain temp and for a certain time?? I've never tried it - and I have a sideplate on a 42 BYF mis-match that the PO tried some "creative blue" fill-in with a BLACK PERMANENT magic marker (no, I'm really not kidding!).. It left it mottled on the high side.. Have either of you tried it on a pice as large as side-plate? If so, any trade secrets you'd like to share?
