How to do a Black Oxide Finish on a Carbon Steel Putter

This is a simple finish that doesn’t cost all that much, and looks great, especially on old T.P. Mills putters!

Before Starting This Tutorial, Your Putter Must

• Be removed from shaft
• All nicks and dings removed
• Beadblasted with 80-120 grit glass beads
• Washed with dish soap and water

Materials Needed

• Birchwood Casey Gun Blue
  • Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue Kit– I don’t think that purchasing the entire kit is necessary unless you don’t have a sandblasting station.
  • Individual Bottle– If you purchase this individual bottle, you will just need to use acetone or rubbing alcohol to do the preliminary cleaning as shown in the video.
• Alternative product – Brownell Oxpho-Blue (this will achieve a similar finish and although I have not personally tried it, have heard good things about it)
• Q-Tips- for applying the Liquid Gun Blue- if you purchase the kit, these are unnecessary
