I just ordered a couple more blue guns from Ring's last week .. They told me to make sure I told them the guns were for holster making
when I ordered them and they wouldn't put the shiny polish on them. They use a "shoe polish" ( his words) to make them shiny and look nice.
On the blue guns I ordered in the past / from other sources I strip them with alcohol or thinner a couple times before I use them..
Wear latex gloves the blue gets on everything and is a mess,,, Dan <<
