Horolacq Blue Lacquer is a blue-tinted shellac lacquer designed to give steel clock hands and other suitable metal components a traditional blued appearance. It provides a quick and practical alternative when conventional heat bluing would be difficult or unsuitable.
Particularly useful for clock and horological restoration, Horolacq Blue Lacquer can help restore the appearance of steel hands and other small metal components where a blue finish is required.
Traditional heat bluing requires controlled heating of the metal. This Blue Lacquer provides a simpler alternative when heat bluing would be difficult to carry out or would not be suitable for the component.
Before applying Horolacq Blue Lacquer, make sure the metal surface is clean, dry and free from grease, dirt and residues. The surface should be prepared to the desired condition before applying the lacquer.
Apply the blue lacquer carefully using a suitable clean brush, working towards an even coating. For small clock hands and components, take care to avoid excessive application and allow the coating to dry thoroughly before handling.
For restoration work, always test the product on a spare or inconspicuous piece where possible before treating an original or valuable component.
Horolacq Blue Lacquer is particularly useful for clock and horological restoration, especially where steel components need to be given a blue finish without using heat.
