bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Get a blueing kit. Just bought one for around £18 posted. The rust and blueing remover works well, you just see the old stuff disappear, back to bare metal. The hard bit it putting it back on. MInes a bit rough looking at the moment. I`ll get round to doing it again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bwfc 164 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Give it a really good sand down,making sure all the varnish is off.If you dont get all the varnish off then it will be patchy where the oil cant penetrate the wood.Then i would give it two or three coats of tru oil,leaving 48hrs between each application.After the last coat is applied give it a good buff up to a finish!. The bluing can be removed with T Cut and a gentle rub with a green pad. Edited June 5, 2013 by bwfc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
