Good idea. Silicone is death for trying to get even blueing.

Thanks for the tip!
I've tried mineral spirits followed with laquer thinner, acetone and tri-clorothene...none completely removed the silicone.
Cascade...never thought to try it, but will next time.

Thanks again,

Amigo

Hi..try stainless steel picking gel. Do a test first on something as
it contains nitric acid. I have used it on small parts for painting
and anodizing

CW..its a gel/paste that you brush on the weld area on stainless steel & leave for a few mins then scub off with water and adbrasive cloth to clean the burnt & discoloured area aroung the weld.

Where you guys reading my mind??? I had to modify a brake and was just going to touch it up... Wrong...

Damn you guys are alot like my wife... always knowing when I screwed up and what I am thinking...

You know a mind is a terrible thing...

I found out that the Lucas Gun Oil is a pain in the @$$ if you need to re-blue anything...

I have tried all of the above but the cascade + BC Gun Scrubber and HD Bore Cleaner and none of it works...

See... stuff like this is what I love about AirGunHome...

Let's face it... "AirGunHome is a better place to be"

I prepped my last springer compression tube for reblue in the dishwasher
with Cascade and it turned out very deep and even.

Do cw and yourdaddyjoe mean to be insulting or are they just plain ignorant?
