I recently tried some Van's Instant Gun Blue to blacken steel.  It's 
similar to Jax's Blackener, but works better.  It's handy for those 
descaled, shinny items you want to look like old iron.  Linseed or tung 
oil makes a nice finish coat.  It's available from C.V. Van Gorden & Son 
in Bloomer, WI, for $30 per gallon.  Phone:  715-568-2612.
