I have some SS knives and some gun parts that I would like to DIY darken. I don't need them to be dark black, I just want to darken them somewhat so they are not so shiny and reflective. Can you use brass black to darken up stainless a little bit.
I'm more interesed in a non-dimensional finish, somehting that works room temp or that can be set up w/ a torch or regular oven.
Birchwood casey makes a bluing solution also something called presto black but they both say they are for non-stainless ferrous metals.
I thought I heard you could use brass black on stainess, even though it only talks about brass, bronze and copper.
