"Ed's Red Bath"?
Please tell my what product/solution you immerse them in, please?


If you don't want the bother of mixing it up yourself check out the Brownells web site.

Use Ed's Proven Formula Without The Mixing

We've done the messy work so you don't have to. Our pre-mixed solution duplicates Ed Harris' widely published recipe for home-mixed
bore cleaner. Safe, effective formula works similar to the standard, military-issue bore cleaner, Mil-C-372B. Wipes out plastic wad
fouling, heavy leading, and caked-on carbon fouling. Cuts abrasive primer residue, too. Helps reduce copper fouling when used
regularly.

SPECS: 4 fl. oz. (118 ml) bottle. Price: $7.99

=====================

However, you can mix up a gallon of Ed's Red for less than $20, which is a lot cheaper than buying it premixed.

I mix it all up in a gallon paint can that I got new from a hardware store for $1.
I filled an old (empty) Luksusowa bottle and keep it on my bench.
I keep small amounts for immediate use in small jars and apply it with an eye dropper.

The only problem I have had with it is having to mark the Luksusowa bottle in big letters "DO NOT DRINK!"
to keep some of my less astute relatives away from it.
Other than that it works great.


Kind Regards,

Tom
