The Birchwood Casey Presto Blue Magnum delivers professional-grade cold gun bluing in a concentrated formula that restores and protects metal surfaces. This 3-ounce bottle provides enough solution for multiple firearms, creating a deep, uniform blue-black finish that rivals hot bluing processes.
What Makes This Different
Presto Blue Magnum uses an advanced selenium dioxide formula that penetrates deeper than standard cold blues, producing a more durable finish with superior corrosion resistance. The concentrated solution works at room temperature without heating requirements, making it safer and more convenient than traditional hot tank bluing. Results appear within minutes and continue to darken over 24 hours for maximum depth.

This cold bluing solution excels in restoration projects where original finishes have worn away from handling, holster wear, or environmental exposure.

The formula bonds chemically with the metal surface rather than simply coating it, ensuring the finish won't chip or flake under normal use.
