Just got some Kano Kroil. Heard it was good stuff. Does it damage Blueing or wood finish? Any particular do's and dont's? You guys always are a big help. Any info will help.

Will not hurt bluing may hurt some wood finishes. It will also creep into screws and may allow them to vibrate loose so try to keep it where you want it. Ie on stuck screws, in the bore. -

Works great for cleaning. Its what I use.Comment

I put it on salad... use it as a marinade for pork and fish...
Cleans the plastic wad fouling out of shotguns.
Cleans Black powder residue.
Cleans the powder stain off of stainless steel.
And it smells like a carolina pine forest.
FYI...Kano makes an even BETTER product called Penephite.Comment

"wear gloves" -- probably should not drink it or use it for eye wash either.Comment

Kroil is what we use as a penetrating lube at the shop when we encounter stuck bolts. Best working stuff I've ever used. I read somewhere a comparison of penetrating lubes. Kroil was #2 right behind a home brew mixture of acetone and ATF, which, coincidentally, looks a lot like Kroil.

I've switched to try synthetic stuff, wanted to check its properties of displacing grit, dirt, sand because its not an attractant like oil based products.
I had a problem at Burro Canyon when it was so windy all my guns got a nice wash with sand. My bolt actions were getting sticky and grindy afterwards.
Trying out the Slip 2000 weapons lube and so far its been very smooth, suppose to be non-toxic too.

Buy direct from KanoLabs, and they'll send you a free aerosol can of your choice of their Kroil products. As mentioned, Penephite is great, it's Kroil with graphite in it.No government deprives its citizens of rights without asserting that its actions are "reasonable" and "necessary" for high-sounding reasons such as "public safety."
A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government
officials that such right is designed to constrain.Comment

Kroil is excellent, amazing they can get it to stay in the can. Agreed keep off of wood finishes."In the end people ARE AS THEY CHOOSE TO BE. It is no one else's fault but theirs. Just because you don't like the choices available does not abdicate the inherent responsibility for your choices." - meaty-btzComment

Yes, I will second the "buy it from Kano" advise. I own and operate an auto repair shop and Kroil never ceases to amaze me at what it can do. Literally 10 minutes ago I had a bolt that pulled the first two threads out of the hole and of course would not start, one shot of Kroil and it threaded right in. Stuff is great as a penetrant, cutting oil, cleaning solvent, you know I'll bet you could use it as a marinade

Great as a bore cleaner. Mix it 50/50 with Shooter Choice and use it in the barrel.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
