Take a look at Brownell's web site. They have a lot of different blueing products. This one http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-to...795-21473.aspx is likely what I will be using on my new flintlock build. Instead of heating the parts with a propane touch, I will use a heat gun. The heat gun gives a more consistent heat, plus there's no real concern about heat coloring the metal. It's been several years since I've done blueing, but I know that as long as you degrease the metal good (acetone works well) and follow the instructions, you should do fine.
Nitrate blueing salts are really great but they don't sell 'em in small amounts. Easy to work with and give great results.....but you have to part with $70 for a rather big bucket of 'em. You gotta have a lot of guns to reblue for that kind of $$$$
