I never tried the dicropan method, so I am not sure what is involved there. I used rust bluing exclusively, with very good results. A plus is not having to deal with large quantities of caustic chemicals and it will not attack soft solder. The coloration is pretty much controlled by the solution applied. I have not ordered anything from Brownells in a while, but they used to sell a book that was full of formulas for different shades and types of bluing. It is really a handy book to have if Brownnels still sells it.
