Will this work well for touching up wear (light) sports on a gun? I will clean the gun but I'm not willing to de-blue it. I just need to darken some areas to match the rest of the guns bluing.

It won't exactly match, but it might look OK from a distance. The only way to get a totally matching finish is to take it all off & start over.And, if you use the gun it will get scuffed. That's life.

Yes and I find Super Blue gives a darker, blacker, finish than Perma Blue. I used SB to go over all of the worn metalwork on. German 98k and it looks as good as new. Apply as directed and buff between coats with steel wool

I use this to touch up wear spots all the time, just degrease the areas that need attention or it won't work so well. I use a cotton ball for large spots & Q-tips for small areas like hammer, trigger, iron sights. Room temps or hotter seem to work better for me than cold, nearly black with little effort.Good Luck!

Should work. I used it on an old Stevens .22 that was found in a garage all rusty and trashed. Lots of TLC, 0000 steel wool and this stuff brought it back to looking good. I was amazed.

I have used this to clean/polish rifle and pistol brass. I used rice along with the brass and the results are good. Make sure you clean the flash holes.

This is a great product, but not a stain. It would produce a slight tint. I would recommend a stain marker to touchup gouges.

I would not recommend it due to an experience I had using this product. It contains two solvents. One of them, "heptane" is rather agressive and will eat into plastics as it did on my bicycle when I used it on my chain. Some of it dripped onto the plastic chain protector ring and stained it. It would not rub off due to it's eating into the surface of the plastic. If your gun has plastic grips or accessories, I would steer clear of this product. FWIW, the list of uses shown on the product label does not include firearms.

Jim I have removed mine from different guns a couple of times and reapplied. It comes with multiple foam adhesive strips. Work it off carefully and use some Goo be gone to remove the residue from the adhesive. I have had no issues with leaving marks on my gun, taken off a Shiny stainless receiver and a flat black one.

I really don't think that this would be a good bore cleaner. It is basically a protective lubricant and might end up causing some accuracy problems. I must admit not only have I not tried to use it as a bore cleaner I never gave it any thought. There are so many good products out there why bother. As a cleaner and protectant for the inner mechanisms of my weapons I really like it.

It is hard to avoid any wear off of the blue even if this claw mount is being put on gently with steady hands. I compensate such blue wear by using a gun blue pen on my GSG STG-44. There is no scratch into the gun metal. Hope this helps.

It hasn't darkened anything I have used it on, but it might if you use it on a really dry porous piece. The items I have used it on were not real dry since I take care of them. I have used it on gun leather, boots, and purses so far and am totally pleased with the results. The best I have found.

I use Ren on all my collectible revolvers, regardless of Blued or Nickel with excellent results. A small amount goes a long way and it will not harm the finish. I hand apply and hand buff and never use any type of power buffer. A soft microfiber cloth to buff works wonders.

Brass should be softer than your bore on your guns so it should not score. Also this is a patch holder so you should always used with a patch with or without the clearning solvent. Use with a good cleaning rod made cleaning much easier. Hope this answer your question.

Works great ! If you are looking to remove bluing it won't do that but it shines them up just fine.

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

This can be used on black plastics and will not discolor or whiten but leave it cleaner if not a little darker. Most likely better to use something like 303 protectant to refresh and darken bumper plastics.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

you could use it as a ram for the included cotton swatches, but unless your barrel is metal and rifled there would be no point in using the brush or oil in the barrel. I suppose you could use the oil for the action. I watched a couple of videos on youtube for cleaning airsofts, I dont think this will work as expected depending on the design of the airsoft. this is a push through setup, unless you can get an open breach it will not work well for you. from what I have seen the preference is for light silicon grease, usually in a spray. I think you should go with alcohol for cleaning the barrel instead. looks to me that dry barrels are better for airsoft. BB's may smear if you get your FPS high enough, the alcohol should deal with that. suggest dissasembly and cotton swabs if at all possible.

It will clean gun parts, but it's not a huge basket. Also, be careful with what finish the gun part has. I put an older polished blued slide in with a random solution and it discolored it. Just be aware that this can happen. Overall it will work pretty well, though!
