cleaning with Goo Gone

[huckberry668]

I thought I'd share this... I had a Dillon powder measure for over 20 years. the plastic hopper got so dark from the powder that I couldn't see the powder level. Tried using alcohol, dish soap, bleach solution and a few others cleaning products to no avail.

had a bottle of Goo Gone for removing dried grease and sticky film from tape. Tried it and was amazed. It works extremely well on carbon build-up on revolver cylinder flutes and faces too. just a wet patch with finger pressure will do the trick. Smells nice afterwards.

However, it is flammable as indicated on the label so use it in a well vented area and away from heat/spark sources.

I'm not advocating its use on firearms. only carbon removal quality i found. i only used it to remove some stubborn carbon on the outside of a revolver cylinder. I've not used on to clean gun bores or other areas. It's flammable so be careful where you use it.

I'd clean after with hot soapy water to remove the citrus oils left behind.
