I have used it several times and continue to do so. I have had both good and bad luck with it. When it works, it is really a great finish. That is why I keep trying it.
A few tips:
1. Always clean the steel with the blue wonder cleaner. Use a heat gun. You can't get the steel too hot in cleaning or when bluing.
2. I clean with blue wonder, then acetone, then blue wonder again.
3. Heat the steel prior to treatment. Use a heat gun.
4. Heat the steel during treatment.
5. Use plenty of developer. This is my biggest complaint. They don't give you enough developer.
6. Watch the time spent after with the developer. If left too long it will turn brownish.
If this seems like a negative, it is a bit, but when it works it works great.
It is also good for touchups too.

Gerald,
I think you must be talking about another product as the question is about a wood treatment, not a metal treatment?

I have not tried it but it strikes me a bit like "snake oil". I've seen it demonstrated at a gun show. My shooting buddy bought some of the blue but he never used it, so far as I know. Might be some great products but I'm skeptical, as always. The offer to let you become a "dealer" adds to my skepticism. Keep us posted.
Thank you,

I know the original question pertained to a wood related product but since the bluing product was mentioned. I have attempted to use it four different times with no success. I even contacted who I believe was the owner of the company and intently followed his instructions. Perhaps I'm the problem but I wouldn't recommend the product.
