 finishing solution questions
Hello everyone. I need some help with my finishings. I need to know when to apply the finish. Do I heat the piece up after it has been quenched and tempered? Wont that destroy the temper? I have obtained a nice finish (brownish in color)by heating an un tempered piece and applying motor oil. Will the color of hydrogen peroxide be different? Thanks for your help.

Not exactly sure of the answer to the first part but i know Hydrogen Peroxide will cause the piece to rust like right now! Worse than sea water.
