Hot Dip Bluing: Why it is
Necessary and How it is Done
A new shingle has been hung
out in the Greene area. Actually,
Precision Bluing has been in business now for a couple of years, but it was
time to really let people know about it!
Alright, you say! "What
on earth is this bluing??"
Well, just in case you're
not all that familiar with bluing, it is a chemical process, call “hot dip”
applied to all of the metal parts of your gun, or golf clubs, or
decorative swords, or knives, or..... It protects the said item
from rusting and if properly cared for, need never be
repeated.
The recent flooding has
affected many of these very heirlooms.
Bluing can restore these items to their original condition.
Precision
Bluing offers a service that will take the metal surface of a weapon, primarily
gun barrels, to a higher level of beauty and durability. This is a much desired
finished. Gun enthusiasts, owners of family heirlooms, and war re-enactment
participants utilize this process to:
- restore a weapon
to its original condition
- customize the
weapon
- optimize a weapon
for a specific function such as flat gloss for low reflectivity or high
gloss for a presentational show piece
- polishing
specific trigger parts enhancing the weapon's function, such as smooth
trigger pull, smoother cocking, burr-free, bolt placement
- provide the
weapon with a long-term corrosion-resistant protective coating
With
proper care and handling, this process need not ever be repeated, making this a
valuable investment to a weapons owner.
Other
services offered are general polishing for "white" guns such as
antique muskets, and bead blasting, which offers a flat matte finish.
All
services can be offered complimentary to one another.
