Just wondering if anyone knows where in Canada a guy can buy hot bluing salts ? Brownell's won't ship to Canada and it seems to be an elusive substance here in Canada . I'm tired of trying all the different cold blues with OK results but not what I want . My business is growing to the point now I think it would be feasible to invest in the setup . So if anyone knows of a set of tanks burners etc not being used I'd be interested in that also . Thanks for any replies in advance .
Hot Bluing solution ( Salts )

I have tanks, burners and salts for sale. I blued for 45 years, they don't wear out... I am just outside of Victoria. email me if interested. sorensens@shaw.ca
google 'sorensen precision machining' for a map...
3 tanks and two burners are set up in a galvanized container. There is a
stand that the burners are attached to, and the tanks sit on that with the
whole 'assembly' within the galvanized 'tank'. All of that sits on a 'shelf'
at the correct height for working... drains out with abs pipe hooked up...
running water is through a tap hooked up to a hose... I also have a bluing
thermometer and some gloves and hooks, etc that would all go with it.
Bluing salts in one tank, hot water in another, cold running water in the
third.
A 4th tank with cleaning solution switches out with the hot water tank.
Burners are jetted for propane.
40 pound can of Brownell's Bluing Salts ($155 in the US)
Probably 50 pounds of high detergent cleaning chemical ($100 value)
$600 for it all. Pick up here only. No shipping.
It's presently set up in my garage. I built it on the small side for doing smaller batches rather than large batches. It works really efficiently with 4 rifles...
