Since I’m probably the least coordinated person alive, the paste seems a better alternative as I tend to ALWAYS turn over any liquid container I get near.. glad to know there is a paste available! Great video!

Good point John! You can't spill the paste, just don't mix it up with your toothpaste😁

I can see where a paste blueing as opposed to liquid would be an advantage. If only a section of a piece is to be blued , there is less chance of it accidentally migrating to the not-to=be=blued part. Nice job on the nail sets.

Thanks Patrick. I've had good success applying the liquid blue with a small paint brush.

Excellent job as always! I REALLY like the bluing application on older tool restorations! Looks more authentic for an old tool!

Nice! Just ran out of super blue this week... I only do 2 coats as well with the liquid type.. haven't used the paste...but it seems you be able to control where it goes easier in certain applications where you...well where I'm to lazy to tape off. 🤠 gooder than good as always!

Very Interesting Video, I've never used the gel before! Seems like you would have more control with the paste and keep it off areas you wouldn't want it to touch. I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I blue something. As always, I enjoyed the video!

The paste finish is supposed to be more durable too.

I like the slightly blacker shade of the 3 coat paste process for the punch, but I think the thinner application of Super Blue might look better on a bike frame.

It is supposed to build up a denser finish and be more durable than the liquid.
