I've been hearing really good things about Ballistol's cold blue, I'd love to give it a try.

Anybody know where it can be ordered in Canada? Having a hard time finding some.

Thanks!
 
I was looking for some cold blueing a while back with no results. I was told it was hard to come by because it didn't meet Canadian labeling requirements.

Rustywood Trading has it.

He has Ballistol lube/CLP, but not Ballistol blue. (I'd never heard of this). Oxypho Blue is about as good as it gets for cold blue, IMHO.

Not a cold blue, but I've used Mark Lee Express Blue, which is really good. Rusty Wood carries the Express Brown, but not the blue, unfortunately. I got mine through Budget Shooter Supply.
 
One of the beat cold blues I’ve used is called Stag, labelled from Thunder Bay.
I find it penetrates better than Oxpho.
The Stag company has been out of business for a long time I’m thinking.
 
Thanks everyone! Rusywood didn't have it, but I placed an order with Tesro. Once I've given it a try I'll let you know my impressions. If I'm not happy, I'll give the Oxpho a try.
 
Clean all parts and dry with acetone. In a polypropylene (recycling number 5) tub, dissolve 110g of selenium dioxide in a liter of distilled water, connect the positive terminal of a 9-volt battery to the part you're trying to blue, connect the negative terminal to a piece of coat hanger wrapped in cotton balls. Add a splash of hydrogen peroxide. If you want a really rich finish on your part you're going to want to take it out and polish it intermittently because this blue will form very quickly.

If you can't find selenium dioxide, smash up some selenium capacitors from scrap electronics, sift, and dissolve them in strong nitric acid. Copper contamination is not a problem but do not get lead or tin in there.
