I am looking for an easy to use gun blueing kit that i can use at home that works. I have a shaking disorder that i got in the service while in the gulf war that gets in the way of working on the guns.

Exactly. Goofy speaks the truth.The only kits that you can buy are cold blue kits.
COLD BLUE SUCKS.
It will not last and I think it is a waste of time.
Have it Hot blued if you want it done right.
If you do all the prep work then it is not expensive.

The thing is - slow rust blueing costs virtually the same if you are doing it. It just takes longer to do, and you usually have to do multiple applications/cleansing to get to the desired level of blue(or brown).not trying to bust any bubbles,, but cold blue is a good viable alternative way to blue guns,, it is not as good as hot blue but if you are willing to put the effort into it , does work,, and will look very nice IF you put the time into it..
not all of us have the money at times to put into a good hot blue job,, or the gun may not be worth the money it would cost,, but we would like to have it look nice,,
i have used DURA BLUE, PERMA BLUE, MAGIC BLUER, OXIBLUE,, my fav is the MAGIC BLUER by birchwood casey,,, it does work and gives a nice color,, you get what you put into it,, and will look good for a years if you take care of it,, for a beater gun, depending on how bad you beat it , it will not be a cure-all.. the results are in the prep and the time you take in cleaning and applying,, i have several that i have done and they look good and have survived several yrs of obuse from me and the grandkids..
not saying you will get a factory restoration look ,, but ,, it will look very nice , again if you put the effort into it
LOL,,have been using it for yrs,, maybe u should talk to my guns,, or learn to use cold blue properly !!! it may not be quite as good as HOT but it does work !!!If you put that same time into rust bluing, you will have a viable, durable REAL bluing job.
As said before- cold blue SUCKS! Stop deluding yourself that you have found the "secrets" to cold blue. There are none and it's stiill cold blue and it does indeed suck. And, cold blue offers no protection to the metal.
