An easy way to blue hands i have tried many ways found this easy Preperation sand with 1200 wet and dry then5000 using penertrating oil both times then with a small peice of chamois rub hands using an aluminium polish will give them a mirror polish I then heat up an old base metal case with front bezel removed and 6mm of fine sand in it on a gas stove top on burner center check temperature with infa red thermometer and place hands on bed of fine sand leaving a slight air gap near tip of hand when getting near required temperature hands come up perfect can remove hands quickly to check colour then put back in if need more | |||

Should have added i polish them on an anvil block with a screwdrive or something in a suitable hole to steady the hands and rinse them in alcohol and dry with cotton bud before bluing | ||||
