Christy Bluing Salts

FROM SMITH GUN, INC.

This is NOT a new product! It IS a bluing salts developed by Mr. Christy with the help of several chemists in 1935, and has been used continually by us since that time. There is no guess work, nor is there any doubt as to the results with these salts. They work at temperatures of 285 - 315 degrees Fahrenheit and give a rich, deep lasting blue when used at the proper temperature. When conditions are correct, these salts will do the actual bluing in twenty (20) seconds to two (2) minutes.

GREASY HANDS CAN BE FORGOTTEN! We have deliberately rubbed oil on a gun barrel to demonstrate that it will not restrict the bluing process. Although in time, oil will contaminate these salts.

The CHRISTY BLUING SALTS were developed to blue guns, and will NOT blue: cast iron, stainless steel, or non-ferrous metals. They WILL do a beautiful job on practically all steel used in the manufacture of guns, including nickel steel. It does take longer to blue nickel steel parts due to the composition of the metal. It will NOT blue stainless steel.

A thermometer will allow you to know when the correct temperature has been reached and the metal has begun the bluing process. If bluing has not begun, you will need to add more water OR salts.

WATER is used to lower the temperature. TEMPERATURE can be raised by: (1) evaporating the solution by boiling, or (2) adding more salts.

These salts WILL NOT have to be thrown away, UNLESS contaminated with aluminum, brass, copper, etc. It is necessary to add more salts from time to time to replace loss due to the small amounts left on parts when they are removed from the solution.

CHRISTY BLUING SALTS are furnished to you in "brick" form. The "bricks" weigh approximately ten (10) to fifteen (15) pounds. THERE IS NO CYANIDE OR OTHER POISONS USED IN THESE SALTS. THE SALTS ARE EXTREMELY EASY TO USE. To the weight of these salts you add equal amounts of water by WEIGHT.

EXAMPLE: 15 pounts of salts + 15 pounds of water.
