Can anyone suggest where to buy chemical blackening (called Oxpho-Blue, Tool black, or other names) in Ontario, Canada? I am in Brampton (Toronto)? ~~ Distracted ~~

Gesswein used to have it. Long time ago, don't know if they still do.
You should also be able to find out where to get this from a gun smith.
Brownell's

I do not know where to buy Brownell's in Canada... I believe shipping accross the border is not allowed here. Is there a Canadian source?
Caswell Plating looks interesting. I also found that KBC Tools sells a version. Anyone know which works better? What about odour, toxicity, & safe storage are all issues for me.
Also, how does one know when the solution is depleted? Or it just doesn't blacken.
