A quick note before we get started, this article and video aren’t a substitute for reading and following the manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines when the chemicals we are going to use in this build. Always follow the instructions that come with or are printed on the container of the chemicals in use.
With the buffing done on our brass pieces, we’re ready to move forward to the next step. This is a step you don’t need to go to if you are happy with how the sanding and polishing of your pieces look. You can put your polished pieces back on your gun and continue with assembly. I wanted to try a bit of brass black on my brass pieces to age them and dial the brightness down. I’m using Casey Brass Black, something just about everyone seems to use, so we’re going to see how it turns out!
When using a chemical like this that is going to react with your metal, be it brass black, cold bluing or a browning solution, you want to keep your bottle of the chemical separate from your working amount. If you don’t keep your bottle separate, after you apply that first brush of the liquid and go back to refill your brush or swap, you will set off a reaction in the bottle causing all of the liquid to react and go bad. Always pour out a small amount of the chemical to work with into a clean separate container to work from. Close your bottle up so you don’t accidentally contaminated it and set it aside until you need more.
