What was your experience with Frog lube?

[gym]

I just tried some for the first time, it seems like a lot more work, and the application is much more time consuming, I ended up spraying Break Free down the barrel to finish cleaning both guns I had used at the range.
But it smells good, maybe it is good for deoderent more than guns. It did eventually clean the lead off but no better than any normal spray that takes one quarter of the time.
Am I doing something wrong, I used q tips and rags, I have seen some use a brush?

It's pretty simple. Heat up the parts and rub on the paste. Let it sit and wipe it off.

I used my US cleaner, it stripped the oils and heated up parts in the same step. Pull them out and wipe on the FL. When the paste melts on, it's working.

Once you wipe it off, it will feel "silky" to the touch.

I've done it on several guns so far, but I haven't shot them since. Supposedly, the lube with sweat back out once the metal is heated and self lube.

I use it on my firearms. degrease heat I use a heat gun and slather it on.
More you use it better it does. I'm impressed so far. Guns clean easily an smell Minty

Works well for me, as long as I can get the old oils off completely. It doesn't mix well with some. I had issues with a shotgun, there were hidden areas behind extractors etc that I didn't get the oil/grease out from before froglube, ended in a really nasty tacky brown substance. I run a patch through the bore and wipe down everything I want coated after my last shot at the range so I don't need to bother heating it. I think after a few of these kinds of applications, as long as you do it every once in a while, you can apply the clp without heat. I use the solvent as well, probably not as strong as something like Butch's, but works for me as I clean after every shooting session.

I use the paste for case lube while reloading, has worked well so far.

SWMBO will not allow Ballistol in the house. Switched to Frog Lube and it works just as well without the smell. just use a hair dryer to warm the gun parts.

FrogLube....

The new gun care product; Frog Lube(reportedly R&Ded by a US Navy SEAL) now has many supporters. I've seen so many CLPs & "miracle" gun oils crop up, it's hard to keep track.
Florida Gun Exchange, in the Daytona Beach Florida area markets the FrogLube line & gives it high praise.
I've heard SIG Sauer's customer support staff also suggests Frog Lube to SIG owners who ask what CLPs work best.
I'd try it if I had a free sample or saw a buy one/get one gun show offer.
Until then, I will stay with Ballistol, Gunzilla or LPX; www.Mpro7.com .

PS; Frog Lube is also sold in the gift shop of the US Navy SEAL/UDT museum in Fort Pierce FL.

A friend of mine wouldn't leave me alone about that stuff until I tried it. I was like, ya, what ever, I'm happy with what I'm using right now, and I don't want to spend the money unless I absolutely need to. So he finally convinced me to let him apply some to one of my firearms, I am now hooked, and am now bugging the rest of my clan to start using it. It's a really great product line.

I recently shot 250 rounds of 12ga. assorted ammo thru my Remington Model 1100, and I'll tell ya right up front, that gun was filthy. That is 100 rounds of low base birdshot, 100 rounds of buck shot, and 50 rounds of slug.

Getting the sludge out of the barrel would have been a real chore, however after running a bronze brush thru the bore about 5-6 times and using the Remington Bore cleaner I've had for quite awhile, then letting it sit while I disassembled the trigger mechanism and cleaned it. The barrel shined like a " spank baby's butt" with little or no effort, just running 3 patches thru it.

Just can't see why anyone would want to heat up a gun just for cleaning!?That frog lube sounds to me to be a bit difficult to use, if you have to remove all the lube from a gun prior to using it.

You don't heat it up just for cleaning, you heat up for the first application and that first application of the paste makes the subsequent cleanings easier.

We use and sell it at work, I love the stuff, and I too have done the heat applied method and results were wonderful

Sounds like Militec-1.

Kroil and a nickel have been the go to surface rust remover at our school for years but recently, our repair instructor tried Froglube and a nickel in a side by side comparison on a Remington-Keene rifle he was preserving for a museum and the Froglube was way better at removing the light rust.

I don't mind the smell, it is pretty weird, like rubbing a stick of gum on your gun but if it works... Who am I to say I don't like it.

I just used it and am very impressed.
