My first post here. THR is a great resource for finding out stuff, and I would like opinions on this. Let me say first off that I have years of experience working in laboratories and mixing/formulating chemicals. I am finishing a Ph.D. in metabolics, biochemistry and ruminant nutrition. I am not a back yard chemist.
Which, if you are old enough to remember, worked better? The original Hoppes or the newer blend of Hoppes 9 for sale? I am trying to decide if mixing a batch of either the old Hoppes (I think I have found the original formula) or mixing up Ed's Red is worth the time and trouble.
If you have experience with either the original Hoppes 9 or Ed's Red, in comparison to the new formulation of Hoppes 9, I would really like to hear about it. I am weighing the pros and cons of this project, including chemical exposure risks. Please, tell me what you think vis-a-vis the effectiveness of the solvents.
