    Bluing removal

    Evening all. I have been cleaning up an Airsporter action prior to ( hot) cold bluing and cannot get my wet & dry into the nooks & crannies and the writing.
    Does anybody know of a substance that will take off the remainder.

    I've used the Birchwood casey stuff but I'm sure you can use white vinegar too.

    Any rust removing solution will shift bluing, I've used Jenolite before with good results.

    White vinegar works,but keep an eye on it.It will rust the parts you are working on.
