Color Engraving on Metal Gun Slide

Step 5Remove excess

Remove excess
Remove the slide from the freezer. Heat in up with the lighter (not too hot) again to melt the surface wax. Now using your stiff paper, scrape the excess off the slide. Don't use a rag or anything with loose fibers as these will remove wax from the grooves of the engraving.

Use the loose newspaper to rub off the excess after scraping. The frictions from rubbing the newspaper should be enough to heat up the wax and rub it free.

You can now clean the gun as normal using any standard cleaner (e.g. Hoppe's 9, Breakfree CLP) without worry.
