Don't be afraid to think outside the box.

Popcicle sticks come in mighty handy. Wrapped with a thin cloth, they are great for cleaning rails.

They can be bought in hobby shops, but where's the fun in that.

At Walmart tonight, I bought a package of bamboo skewers. 12" long and pointed, looks they might be good for getting into small, hard to get places.

If you are unfortunate or careless enough to get a spot of rust on a blued finish, Blue Wonder gun cleaner on a pad of 0000 steel wool removes the rust without harming the blue.

The Sentry cloths, especially the Marine Sentry, are also excellent.

For all of you Gun Scrubber users, I'd like to mention that brake cleaner that Walmart sells for about $1.80 works as well.

Same considerations. Don't get it on wood, plastic, rubber, or YOU.

I bought the ingredients to make up a large batch, except for the lanolin.

Never got around to mixin' it.

Do you use the lanolin in yours?
