Like I said there's an easier way to apply it then the directions say to.
Field strip your pistol, (making sure it's unloaded of course) and then with the slide removed, remove the barrel and guide rod and spring.
Take a hair dryer with the container of armadillo open heat it up with the hair dryer until it melts like a wax. At the same time go back and forth between your slide and the armadillo to keep them both hot and so the armadillo doesnt go back to a hard state. (It's easier with two people one holding the hair dryer, and the other working on the other stuff, but not necessary) (Armadillo is flammable in it's liquid state, Bob Price is a great guy and I would listen to him as he is a big part in the company)
Take a cotton swab cutip (Or however you spell it,
) and dip it in the armadillo and put it on the slide, make sure you get everything covered, it may look a little funny but it's okay. Make sure you get the whole slide (You can probably do the underside of the slide as well, I dont myself but that doesn't mean you cant. It's a dry lubricant made out of polymer basically) I usually put it on the slide rails as well. Get it in all the engravings on the slide too.
Let it cool off for about 5 mins, then heat it up again until it turns soft and buff it off with an old cotton t shirt. For the places you can't get to with the shirt (Like engravings where the serial number and all the other stuff is) I use a soft bristle tooth brush and toothpicks. A can of compressed air helps as well. Once it's done buffing off you can definitely see the difference. I normally use the disotec afterwards, and put a little bit here and there in the normal places. (Slide rails, trigger mechanism on the frame, firing pin, basically anything where metal touches metal.)
That's how I usually do it but everyone has their own different ways.
