[Ganderite]

Bought it at Home Depot. They had paste and a bottle of a more liquid version. Also had Never Dull. bought that, too. Used to use Nerver Dull on my plane aluminum.

I can see the blue was removed, then what to do? Just leave the steel naked?

I went to Home Hardware to see if they had any, they did so I bought the small tube (50g one) the price said 3.99. So I went to the check out counter and it range up at 11 bucks, I said wow the tag said otherwise. So I went back to where I got it and the numbers didn't match, guy asked me if I needed help and said yeah and explained it. So he couldn't find it and walked up to the checkout and said to give it to me for 3.99. So I got the tube of Metal Polish and Fibreglass Cleaner for 4.50 where the price actually should of been 12 bucks.

So in short, Home Hardware has it.

I used flitz on Norc 1911 but not to the point where it wore off all the blueing

How does it look afterwards? I was thinking of doing it to my 10/22T bull barrel (blued).

 

[Undergiver]

here is a pic of my P-85 with the slide done with flitz.

Flitz ROCK ... especially on BLUE surfaces!

Be careful on blue and nickle with Flitz. If you have noticed a brown color on your cloth when using it that 's the bluing coming off not dirt. There are abrasive particles that work best for stainless.

 

[Undergiver]

that's funny Flitz says it safe on gun blueing.

 

[DIRTYCLEAN]

i did not take the blue out whit it, i sanded, polished whit jewler red and then applied flitz for polishing!

 

[Paulinski]

It is not safe of bluing. I tried using it very sparingly on my STI trojan and it wore the bluing down significantly - good thing I was going to get it re-blued in deep blue because STI's bluing is very very weak.

Works great on stainless. Use with caution.

I just picked up a 10g tube of Flitz at WSS for $2.99 if anyone is still looking for it.
