On Fluid Steel barrels, after the rustings there are areas along the ribs where they were Silver Soldered the color doesn't "Take", showing the solder joint.
What is the appropriate way to color the Silver? I've read various substance are used. Would a logwood soak be appropriate? Any other preferences? Angier mentions the soak sometimes used with Fluid Steel, such as FN used, but no real specifics.
Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Just curious, what type of barrels do you have that use silver solder? Most barrels on older shotguns use lead/tin solder and the blackening agent used is not the same as for silver solder.
