There are several reasons bluing will not take on a gun. One is it stainless steel. Nope. Two is the bluing solution correct. If so, is the temperature correct, Brownells has bluing info for their solutions., follow these almost perfect. Also to be blued, it must be alloy steel. not pot metal, not cast, just steel. Don't get any brass, copper, zinc or lead in the bluing solution.

How much gun blueing do you mix with coal?
Gun bluing is not mixed with coal. Most hot gun blues are a caustic chemical, and will eat holes in your body if you handle it wrong. I have a vague recollection of growing crystals on a lump of coal when I was a youngster- recall that it used ammonia, and liquid LAUNDRY bluing. In the pre-bleach days, laundry bluing was added to rinse water for white clothes, and made them look whiter. Have not seen it in years. If you are growing a crystal project, try adding a few drops of liquid food color.
