Silly stainless questions

[K Frei]

Second where can you get lamp black?

And third; ok I guess tecnically its four questions, Iposted this earlier but I think most were over the thred by the time I got to it, so I'll try and re-post: here is another silly question, does the bluing remover work on all bluing solutions or just cold blue? Further more what solution works best for this, as right now I have a knife that would be neat French grey'd Thanks. K Frei

An acetylene torch will provide you with an enormous amount of carbon soot. A metal plate held a few inches above a small flame of pure acetylene will work.

When I scratch built my 1770 Isaac Haines long rifle, I used up about seven of the regular tall tapered candles to blacken the parts as needed. Candles are cheap and easy to use.
