I just got a very nice Noveske upper.
I would like to use Frog Lube on it.
Are there any instructions on how to remove the original lubricant.
You are not suppose to mix oil and Frog Lube.
I use 90% rubbing alcohol. I’ve heard of people using non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Froglube also makes a degreaser, but its not cheap.
That sounds easy enough.
I’ll just wipe it real good and apply some rubbing alcohol.
The outside of barrel is inside the NSR rail and appears oily.
Should I just leave that alone?
Also, I want to heat it real good.
Would a hair dryer work?
Call me crazy, but I don’t put too much effort into cleaning old lube when I apply new lube. I’ve never had a gun choke because Lube-A came into contact with Lube-B.
Froglube is different. It is not like mixing 2 different brands of oil.
I’d leave the barrel-under-the-rail alone for now. Hair dryer should work fine. Might take a while though. Are you using the paste?
I use my wifes “old” hair dryer…she wasn’t too happy but got a new one, so all is well. I set the parts on a towel and heat them for a bit, turning them over until I can barely touch them. I then use the paste and brush on the lube, it melts quickly. I use the brush and get the lube everywhere I can, turning the parts to get every surface. I let it sit for an hour or so, reheat and apply some more. Come back after cool and wipe down. I use the liquid to lube friction points, and for cleaning.
Hair dryer is fine. Use one most of the time.
Yes, using the paste.
I had great luck applying it on my Glock upper before and used a warm stove and pot with a steamer.
I really like Froglube.
I recently applied frog lube to a new AR. Prior to doing so I cleaned it with KG-3 Solvent & Degreaser (http://www.kgcoatings.com/cleaning/kg-3-solvent-and-degreaser/). I’m sure other products will work equally well, but I was pleased with how well this removed all of the lubrication applied by the factory.
Really? I got a new 30-30 that came coated in grease. I used froglube to remove it, left it nice, minty and shiny!
Funny you mention that. I stick my BCG in the toaster for about a minute or two.
I ran Froglube exclusively on a DD that had previously been lubed with Slip2000 for a Redback One advanced carbine course and it ran just fine. If it makes it harder to clean, then I’d have no idea because I don’t do that nonsense. Lube it. Shoot it. Repeat.
Yes, you need to remove any silly grease or other lubricants because of how it reacts. Use some type of degreaser or non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
You Frog Lube guys are silly…
Keep it simple and hose it down with non chlorinated brake cleaner then treat with Frog Lube
So, how does it react with other lubricants? Is Fireclean in the same boat?
According to the website FrogLube will eventually dissolve any petrochemicals present on the gun, but while both are present you won’t see the maximum benefits of FrogLube.
The dollar can of brake cleaner at Wally World or similar store is worth buying 5 or 6 at a time. It is a cheap and easy way to clean or degrease.
Got some break cleaner from Wally World. Since the gun is brand new - cant I just use Dawn soap?
