Tried FrogLube Yet?

[Rain]

I decided to give FrogLube a try; at least it smells better than typical gun lube. I put it on my CW9, including magazines. Seems OK; haven't fired it yet.

I decided to use it on one of my pocket knives. I got it on the handle and now it is so slick I can hardly hold it! Reminds me of when STP first came out (I know, I'm old as dirt). STP advertisements used to instruct you to dip a screwdriver in STP and then try to hold it vertically between a finger and thumb without gravity causing it to slip out. It was hard to do!

I just finished the second application on my S&W Shield. It appears to be as advertised. After the first round of shooting the cleanup was much easier and the barrel was clean after one patch. A 75 watt spot/flood bulb will heat up the gun just fine for the application of this stuff.
One interesting thing I noticed when applying it for the first time I totally cleaned and de-greased the gun with gun scrubber. When I applied the frog lube to the inside of the barrel I got a lot of black fouling on my first patch. I and done a couple of other guns (not yet fired)with FL and I noticed the same thing. This stuff must clean a lot better than anything I had used previously. My dry hands split in the winter, and I really appreciate how nice it is not to have gun solvents contributing to winter dry hands. Plus the smell alone makes it a worth well product.

I switched over to Froglube back in November. I really like it. With each of the three "seasonings" it re liquified just as advertised. It also proved it self by re- liquifying in 20 something degree weather at the range when the gun got hot.

Clean up is a breeze in comparison to the traditional lube way, It just feels wrong the first couple of times but you get used to it. In addition to my guns I Froglubed some green crusting on a faucet in my house and it never came back.

I definitely would recommend it, just use a hot air gun instead of a hairdryer. I learned from homebrewing that a hot air gun is superior. Shrink wrapping the tops of wine bottles with a hair dryer took for ever.

Put it on my CW9 for the first time today..indeed it does seem weird but you can definitely tell it is working after you wipe off the excess once it has cooled. I think after a couple more applications it will get even better.

No really can't say I have. I'm pretty happy with the Mobil one 15/50 -20/50 that I also use in my Harley. For the most part I've been using it in every gun I own for years from my P3at to a Marlin 30/30 with some darn good results. Not that I haven't tried other products, but never found a few drops of any of them to be any better than what I've already been using. My older military weapons I'll sparingly use a combination of MB1 on parts that pivit and there pins and luberplate on parts that slide. Old habits die hard I guess so I'll just keep on using what I happy with. Thanks for the report though.

Their "Green" non-petro chem base is a bit of a stretch of marketing hype.

Its made from a polyaphaolefin base, known also as polyalphaethylene.

PAE's can be rubberized, plasticized, or liquified. In the liquid forms, they're used as high viscosity lubricants and coolants (many oils are used as coolants... especially on power transmission transformers and radio transmitters).

PAE's are petrochemical derivatives.... so I'm tending to say they "stretch" the real truth on their advertising.

If they stuff works... hey more power to 'em.

Nothing quite like being cooped up in a 8 x 10 cell for 20 years with a guy nicknamed "Thunder Richard"...

I have been using it for about six months, and it is working great! No harsh chemical smells, and the biggest plus is that it doesn't evaporate, so if you use the gun as a carry weapon you don't need to worry about re-lubing it up intermittently. The cleanup is real easy and I don't have to do it out in the garage! I just can't see why anyone would want to keep using strippers and other petroleum products that stink and are toxic.

Oh, I forgot, you can go shooting several times without reapplying, and it keeps working like a charm.

Note to everyone, I hate to be serious, but all oil is hydroscopic. To the great unwashed, that means it readily absorbs and holds moisture. Periodic cleaning and oiling is still necessary regardless of the type of oil used. Since most of us shoot and clean our guns often it isn't a problem, but for long term storage a product like Rig gun grease should be used. Even then the a gun should be inspected every six months.
