Great! Thanks DBR, I am going to get some then.

Is Break-Free CLP safe on all gun finishes? Blued guns? I thought I read somewhere that is it also unsafe on wood. I am wondering how careful I would need to be around the grips on my guns. I was thinking of picking up a bottle because it was also recommended for knives.

I would like to be able to open this one with a key as well, that would be nice. I am going to research switching this one to a mechanical lock. Thanks all for the help!

I wonder if I could change it to a mechanical lock, that would be nice. I know that would probably void my warranty but the warranty is only for a year anyways.

Thank you thank you thank you preachnhunt! I tried doing what you said twice and the second time around I heard the locks release. I grabbed those car keys so fast you can't imagine. I wonder what happened and whether I should be worried about it breaking down now. It was so expensive and so...

I do have some paperwork and it is by Granite Security Products. I am going to give them a call tomorrow. It has been less than a year since getting this safe. I was worried about getting an all electronic lock and now I wish I had listened to my worries. Never again. The original battery...

Less than a year ago I bought a gun safe. I got it from Sam's Club and it says Western Winchester on the front. It has a SecuRAM electronic combination controller. We went on a vacation for 12 days and we just got home. I thought it would be a good idea to lock up my car keys in the safe...

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Glad you said something. :)

Thanks! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone again! I finally got the nerve to work on my gun tonight (using Mothers). Of course I couldn't get all the scratches out, but some of the biggest dull/scratched up spots cleaned up real nice. I am so much happier with it now. Thanks!

I don't like wearing watches, so I have a G-Shock Atomic watch, my wallet, and a pill fob in one pocket. Then in the other I have change, lots of keys, and my Spyderco Ladybug knife (small but sharp!).

I am sure this has probably been discussed, but I wonder if it takes away value of an object by polishing it. Like with those Roman Coins. I have some old coins that could use some polishing, plus some old knives from around WWII. Some of the knives have rust spots and a black substance of...

I am going to polish my gun soon, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I did polish one of my knives that is SS the other day. I couldn't completely get out the scratches on the knife but it did help a lot. I tried both the Mothers and Simichrome. I liked the Mothers a little more. I...

I have a hobby, polishing pennies!! :neener: Thanks guys for the info, it is pretty neat how shiny you can get things!

Does anyone know how polishing actually works? Does it just clean up the metal so much it disguises the scratches? Or does it actually remove small scratches? I know deeper scratches would require sanding or something else, but I wonder how much I can do with hand polishing. I have been...
