    I use froglube on every thing. Smooth actions, easy to clean and no gumming up...I couldn't be happier.

    And the wife doesn't complain about the smell when I clean a firearm and put it back in the safe.

        I know some people love it and some people love to hate it...
        but why take the risk when there are so many other great products out there I personally like weapons shield.

        the only plus I see is that you can eat the frog lube and it's not toxic in any way.

        someday I'll get a free sample and give it a test run.

        but for now I'll stick to using what I know works and that no one else EVER complains about it gumming up their firearms.

          1. remove all petroleum products from the weapon (oil/lube/grease)
          2. heat part with blow dryer or heat gun
          3. apply paste liberally
          4. wait about an hour for it to dry
          5. wipe of excess and reassemble weapon/knife/tools

            risk? are you referring to the gumming up that some people report?

              I heard that in cold climates, it tends to "gum up" while in storage. But here in california, we don't really have to worry about that. i have applied it (per the instructions) to all of my weapons, and it works great.Especially AR's. The bolt looks dry, and after a few rounds, it looks like the lube just comes out from the metal. I'm happy with the product. And like one of the other guys stated, my wife doesn't complain about the smell..

                oh wow. I wonder how much frog lube those guys have in there? I also wonder if they're using the frog lube CLP or the paste... I've only used the CLP after a couple hundred rounds. My rifle didn't start jamming I just thought I would be nice to it and throw a little on there.

                  When stored for months and even more than a year, it turns into a wax-paste. It's pretty dry, but as soon as you shoot the firearm, it liquefies and the firearm performs great. The only thing to watch is not to apply too much into the firing pin channel and on the firing pin itself. Better yet don't apply any into the channel or firing pin.

                    Actually, the reports about certain gums getting gummed up after using or prolonged usage of Froglube have some merits behind it. I've read that if you over apply Froglube to certain striker fire guns and it accumulates the firing pin mechanism, it can cause the weapon to jam or not fire in cold weather. If that happens, you will have to completely disassemble your gun and clean out the gunk.

                    Personally, I've never had that problem in sunny California.

                      oh dang. I've been away from my guns for 8 months... let's see how they are when I get home in two weeks!

                            I like it in my carry pistols because it doesn't leave oil stains on my shirt and is great at preventing rust. It leaves something to be desired when it comes to cleaning the bore so I use hopes for that

                              It's been a while sense I've seen a FL thread.
                              I haven't used it sense it gummed up the wife's SR22 and wouldn't cycle at the range. I guess she should have brought her hair dryer with her.

But I followed the directions and it makes a difference. I applied it in a normal fashion and it didn't work the same.
                              i use it fairly excessively, sometimes months before the next use, and never had a gumming issue.

                              I stopped doing the whole heat/apply/1 hour thing and haven't noticed a difference.

                              is it the best? i dunno. but I have it on hand and have no problems. Not really a great bore cleaner, but works for everything else.

                                I think you only need to do it a couple of times. I've only done it once on most of my guns.
