So why do you add the gear oil, to thicken it up?

Years ago It was splained to me by a very knowledgeable fella you don’t know…ATF is supposed to have some penetrating or high cohesion properties doesn't it? I forget what makes it different.
C’mon man!Well dang…I didn’t think a lube tread would lead to a banning.

NOT THE MONKEYS AGAIN!!!!Did you say animal? Was is a MONKEY?
Brake cleaner followed by clp is the way!Y’all go to some great lengths. $50.00 answers to $0.50 questions!
Just hose your stuff down with a squirt of CLP every now and then and you’re good to go.
Aww crap, now I’m going to invoke my SpecOps friend... When we had the farm he’d come out bringing thousands of rounds to practice & run my son’s & I through some drills, good times.Anyways, those of you who got on the frog lube bandwagon ain't got nothing on me......
Young 20 something year old me jumped on the FireClean bandwagon.... That stuff was
GARBAGE! I put it in an AR and a BerettaM9 and left it for about a year, both were seized
up. I had to disassemble everything and throw it into a sonic cleaner. It also stained or tarnished
the anodizing on that AR lower.
Man, I had forgotten about Fireclean. lol
Wasn’t it mainly canola oil?
I'll throw out an operator drop for my first craziest. I wouldn't have believed it in a million years but a buddy of mine that I work with swears by WD-40 for belt fed guns. Loves the little spray cans and says he would spray down a pig during a gunfight. No reason for me to doubt him, 100% real deal, straight shooter. In my background WD-40 was only good for one thing, washing dirt.
That concoction has been around for yyyeeaarrrsss and has been tested to work. Plus it goes a long way.Without invoking any SF SEAL Ranger Recon creds, I’ll just add that I mixed up a gallon of this stuff a few years ago, still going strong. King Richard told us to use STP, right?
Seriously, this mix has served me well from 1911’s to ARs, to M1a, to S&Ws. Slick, but just a tad sticky.
It was advertised as a lube version of Ed’s Red. Not a cleaner, like the original. A lube. I put it on with a small artist’s brush, or a toothpick for a “drop.”

It was them and some Royal Marines. My (at the time) borderline-alcoholic day-drinking self looked like a baby compared to the amount of booze those guys put away. It was amazing and terrifying and just being there made my liver hurt.
And the boathouse at Hereford is white with green trim.
No he's part of the SASsy teamAre you SAS trained…? Lol
Indeed. We are trained to just shake it off. Shake it off.No he's part of the SASsy team
Shake it and you are good.Random question for those that use one of the motor oil/ATF/gear oil/etc type mixtures. Do they settle out when sitting on the shelf for awhile? Or are they close enough that a good shake when you concoct the mixture lasts? Safer to give it a little shake/swirl before use?
