Remove cold blue stench?
i reblued my kel-tec p11 slide with birchwood casey perma blue paste and i got it to look really good. i am completely finished and it cured. my only problem is it smells like a bunch of rotten eggs. i was told that a solution of baking soda and water for the final rinse would keep it from stinking but it didnt work. i even let it soak in it. the smell isnt too strong (doesnt come off on your hands) its just frustrating lol. any ideas? i soaked it with rem oil while it cured for 2 days too. im stumped. the gun is reassembled and functions perfectly as it did before at least

Nick,
Just leave the gun air-out for a few days to a week. Let's face it, that rotten egg smell is not going to linger forever. It will go away after a few days.
I highly recommend that you do NOT try to use any other chemicals on the slide that you have so perfectly blued. I've actually seen where blood (deer blood, to be more specific) removed the factory bluing on a rifle. I think it had something to do with the fact that the blood cells were rich in oxygen and it acted like a super-oxidizer. The same sort of stuff that they use in washing machines to remove stains...and it removed the bluing.

I always thought BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) was applied after blueing.
It might be worth a shot

If all else fails use the old-school secret weapon to getting rid of stinks. Tomato juice. haha good luck!
