Terribly disappointed in Froglube

[Caleb]

I never jumped on the frog train......too many steps to apply. I prefer RandCLP, works great. Joe's oldschool way is proven, cheap, and will be around for years. I use this technique on my rifles.

Good luck bro, hope it works out for you.....if not, there are plenty of other products out there.

What steps? warming it up? Just have to do that first couple of times. Thereafter cleaning is much easier since nothing sticks.

Yep...that. Two or three drops of RandCLP and I'm done. Clean up is easy as well, usually just a wioe down with the swabs.

I just spoke to the folks at FrogLube. They explained if the gun is not prepped the first time to remove all trace of petroleum products it can become sticky/gummy. That is why they recommend degreasing with alcohol first. If it is clean down to the bare metal, correct application of FrogLube will NOT result in any stickiness. It makes sense that there could be a reaction to mixing both types of products.

To prove to myself there is no problem, I just took out of the safe my old S&W Mod-36. After having been used with solvents/oil for 30 years, it was prepped and cleaned with FrogLube almost two years ago. It has not been touched, lubed or fired in that time. Not a bit of stickiness whatsoever, nor on any of the other guns that have been "frogged" over the past two years.

Lastly, I pointed out a section on the website instructions that are somewhat vague about prepping for the first time. It will be brought to the attention of the powers that be and will be corrected. I will follow for these changes.

They still need to change the name or it ain't going on my guns.

Used it and found it to be more work than its worth. Just my humble opinion. It did start to get sticky and was slowing the action down enough to indicate to me sooner or later the action will freeze up. Was a tad bit too close to a nightmare to remove completely.

Went back to my regular lube I get from Wilson and never looked back. Something about the product having to be put on so precisely and if you mess up the application your gun may not go bang is really the reason I backed away. Why make it complicated? Just keep your guns wet all the time and you will have no problems. Except perhaps some oil stains on your clothes....

KISS principle always prevails..
