Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for touch-up or complete re-blue, so results depend on the condition and preparation of the existing steel surface.
- The 3 fl. oz. bottle is a small-format option, which may be limiting for larger refinishing jobs.
- It is described for polished steel that contains nickel or chrome alloys, so it may not be the right choice for every metal surface or finish type.
- The product is a cold blue solution, which makes it a finishing product rather than a replacement for full refinishing work.
