Thread: Mother's mag and aluminium polish

The purpose of the wash is to remove all traces of oil and prepare the surface to accept the bluing. Once you have it prepped and dried it, the bluing is applied and then removed on the high spots, the reason that the .3 micron film is used instead of polish is so that it does not go down into the grooves of the etch and pull the bluing out. If you use polish it will remove more of the bluing than you really want.

did I mangage to link the correct products since I have also discovered the neatsfeed I have is not the best for soaking, so just tring to prevent buying things twice here

If the bluing is what is renewing the etching and all steps before are to prep for the bluing, than would I only need the acetone, bluing and micon lapping film?

Do, i use the .3 micron untill its as shinny as i want or would do anything in adition to the .3 micon film?

you are essentially using the .3 micron to remove the bluing from around the etch. You can polish as much or a little as you want

I do envy those scales. The blade looks good.

Thanks, something seems off or missing with the blade IMO

It's not the best photo but I don't see anything wrong, it looks great. With original scales and preserved etch, you can't be too critical either.

Your right, its the little things I see that the camera doesn't . thervis still some bluing left around the etch. And yes I could deffinetly had better scenery to make for a better pic.

Where do you find blue magic? I didn't see it at the local Wal Mart.
