What non-toxic solvents are you guys using I've used Ed's Red for years. If there's a non-toxic solvent that doesn't stink up the house, I can clean guns in my reloading room instead of the garage.

I bet some of you guys glow in the dark.

This sounds like blue Nitrile gloves. If so, stick with the Nitrile. I used the regular gloves, but they never held up for a full strip/clean of a 1911. Even double-gloving often saw me down uncovered fingers by the end. Nitrile holds up to solvents much better.

I didn't use gloves for many years, but then I heard our modern day Plato, Willie Nelson, say that "if I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself." Well, if Willie says it, it must be true, right?
