Here's what you do:

1.Properly clean and steel wool the metal

2.Put on a coat of the blue with a cloth, not a cotton ball as it tells you in the directions.

3.Wait about 1 minute, wipe the metal with cold water then buff the piece lightly with fine steel wool and wipe it again with a dry cloth to clean any metal particles off.

4.Repeat this until the piece is as dark as you want it

5.Let it sit for a little while (about 10 minutes should do) to let the finish set. then oil the piece and leave it alone over night. (This will also darken the finish slightly more.)
