Yes, to get the blues, lower temps. I have done that many times in lead and in nitre, but I wasn't looking for blues like that. I was looking for that charcoal color that Fred got. I did not quite get there. As far as I'm concerned, I won't get there with lead. Maybe nitre, but I suspect, it will have to be the right way - with charcoal. No shortcuts.
