Birchwood Casey14130 Plum Brown Barrel Finish, 5-Ounce

What can I say works like you’d expect from this company, good antique brown color

Apply plumb brown per directions as a base for Super Blue. Heat parts in oven to 170f…. After wife leaves house for a while…. Apply super blue. Card with 0000 steel wool. Much deeper bluing job than typical cold black finish with super blue.

It does what it’s supposed to do which is to give you a brown finish on your firearms, or in my case I am using it to antique tin ceiling tiles. Biz vendors price was in the realm of reality, some of the vendors seem to think that this product turns metal to gold, by their pricing, I have seen some out rages out of this world pricing on this product. If I can find it at my local gun shop, this vendors pricing was a little below average of local retailers pricing

This is a great product for matching up gun steel finish especially on older patina. Follow the instructions carefully.

This is a great product for what I bought it for, which is not for guns, but to age/antique small nails or fasteners or tin on various antique items. I restore antique objects (not furniture) & often I need to make a surface darker for which I use Birchwood Casey Super Blue, but that leaves a bluish tint on some metals (black on others). That tint does not look old, but with some of this added on top (or sometimes instead of the Bluing), it works great. Just today I put a missing nail in an 18th Century Nutcracker & though the nail I used was very old, it had to be shortened the tip was then bright, so I had to age it. Using the bluing & then this, gave it a dark, aged, almost starting to rust appearance that is much better than using fake rust (which does not look authentic on anything that is not rusty to begin with). NOTE- If you start with new nails/screws, you'd have to remove all the finish on them before you could blue them or brown them successfully.The one problem is the inner peel-away cover you have to remove to use it. It is almost impossible to remove completely & I was unable to even cut off the last bit. I found out that if you leave any of it, it becomes putrid. If not for that, I'd have given it 5 stars. Overall, I'm very pleased though.
