#cold blue

no picture; i forgot and i'm not putting new gloves on just to open the container and take some

was wondering why it wasn't working very well. then i realized it's right around freezing outside, and not much warmer in the shed. so of course it's going to take a bit longer than all the demos and stuff i've seen, which were closer to standard room temperature.

figured i'd leave the t-nuts in there for a while. i'll go check up on them in like half an hour maybe

left one is after rinsing/wiping down, right one is after applying oil (light machine oil)

remains to be seen how well this protects against corrosion. everything in the shed is very susceptible to rust, given that it's unheated and i live a few kilometres (a few miles for you imperial folks) from the north sea.

only found out after buying the expensive cold blue that there is an alternative pseudo-hot-bluing process with oil that's much easier (really it's closer to seasoning a cast iron pan). kinda wanna give that a shot at some point too
