The brand stands for oil, degreaser and browning in small packs.

Steel and iron with up to 3 percent chromium take the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/rapid-bluing\"\u003equick browning\u003c\/a\u003e: it is brushed on, a browning bath is not required, and the piece stays on the bench instead of in a tank. Aluminium needs two steps, because the oxide layer would otherwise reject the colour. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/aluminium-primer-50-ml\"\u003ealuminium primer\u003c\/a\u003e removes that layer, including in corners, so sanding is unnecessary. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/aluminum-bluing-50-ml-capacity\"\u003ealuminium browning\u003c\/a\u003e then colours the alloy, brushed or dipped, up to a deep black. Diluted 1:1 with water, the tone is milder, and scratches or worn spots can be touched up. Copper, brass and bronze are the job of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/non-ferrous-metal-dyer\"\u003enon-ferrous dye\u003c\/a\u003e. Dwell time sets the colour, from a warm brown to black, including when you want an antique finish. Nickel silver stays in the dye longer.

The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/cold-degreaser-spray-50-ml-capacity\"\u003ecold degreaser\u003c\/a\u003e lifts oil, grease, soot and dried, resinified residue from metal, plastic and glass. It also takes adhesive residue and stickers. From the spray can you reach edges a cloth misses. For quick browning on steel this step is the condition, not an extra. The same preparation applies before colouring non-ferrous metal and before a coat of paint, if the new layer is to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUniversal oil when the mechanism should keep moving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every piece on the bench is meant to turn black.
