I'm a big fan of rust blueing and have done a few rifles that way. I just finished a spare tire mount and need to press it into service immediately. The mount is all painted surfaces except for the 3/4 inch threaded shaft that holds the tire on. If it rusts naturally outdoors can I then boil it and card it or is rust blueing a different chemical process than naturally occurring rust?
