You might be right about the order. From what I read and was told the boiling every repetition is NOT NECESSARY, but I think in the its better.
Yeah, the guy I bought the bluing solution from said something about not boiling every time, but when I questioned he further he said he did, or at least I think thats what happened in that conversation. I can't really say if it has to be done everytime or not. I have reapplied the solution after about 1/2 hour of rusting and that seemed to make things go a bit faster, like it needed less applications.
