"One more question, did the cold blueing stop it from rusting? I have a taurus 1911 with a bad blueing. Carrying it on a summer day means sweat and rust spots, or I should say rust sections."
Sweating on a steel firearm finish is universally a bad thing - promotes rust like crazy. That is nothing unusual. Sweat will even help promote rust on the newer "nitron" finishes used on many guns today as an alternative to bluing.
Bluing, regardless of the type or process, does not STOP rusting. It only will SLOW IT DOWN, so to speak. All blued finishes need a regular thin coat of oil, to prevent rusting. In fact, I know of no practical finish for steel that will ever stop the possibility of rust, 100 %.
