I have been around cold blue for 44 years.
A bunch of old tooth brushes.
Some degreaser detergent like 'Simple Green'.
Cold blue like Oxpho Blue
Some motor oil
Scotch Brite pads
With those, I can do a good job on a rifle, but what really makes it work is bead blasting.
Bead blasted steel soaks up cold blue like fresh plowed ground soaks up pee.
And don't forget, after the Oxpho blue is turning darker all night under oil, you still have to get it out of there. Degrease and re oil the next day.
