cosmoline removal
jyerxa:
My son doesn't want me to ask. But he's not around and the curiosity is killing me. It has been ages since I had to remove all the cosmoline off a weapon. I just used a lot of elbow grease and solvent. Hoppies. My son tells me there is a real slick way to remove it from the wood using a black yard sack. You stick the rifle/pistol into the sack and let the sun heat it up and then wipe it down and it comes right off. What do you guys do?
Boss .300 winmag:
i would stand it up in a bucket next to some sort of heat source IE heater, wood stove ETC this time of year.
Cap.Silver:
Disassemble the stock from barrel and dip the metal parts in paint thinner ,put the stocks to heat (hot days outside on deck,fireplace -not too close ) and wipe away as it melts periodically
jyerxa:
He is thinking he is going to get a heat gun cause this isn't the best weather for heat. So heat it the best way?
KFhunter:
warm water and simple green
