What if they discovered a drug that would make people incredibly ill if they inhaled Hoppes #9 or one of its counterparts. Perish the thought!
 
Don't give the gov't any ideas; that would be a sure-fire way to eliminate a huge portion, if not all, of TFL! :eek:
 
Yes,

There's no mistaking the smell of Hoppes. The smell permeates everything! I can go into the garage (where my cleaning must be done as per the wife) days later and the smell of the patches in the wastebasket make it seem like I never left!

It is an acquired taste. I like it!

------------------
Remember, just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you!
 
I once spilled half a bottle of Hoppes #9 on the seat of my truck after a trip to the range. Truck smelled great for better than 6 months. :)

I already have a brand new large bottle of the stuff waiting for my new safe to arrive. I will uncap the bottle and leave it in the safe by itself for the first few nights just so it smells right.

And yes, I've been known to put some on as aftershave before a date. :) My wife likes the smell also.

I have no problem with the smell. ALthough my Family hates it when I clean my Guns *grin* the one thing I do hate is if I have any cuts or scrapes on my hand. THAT STUFF HURTS!!!!
 
Does anybody but me wear mechanics' latex gloves when they clean guns? I use the blue "chemical-proof" ones and find I can re-use them two or three times. For real actual pain, there is nothing like a tiny droplet of Hoppes in the EYE. For this reason, I also wear eye protection when I am working with Hoppes (I was vigorously brushing out a barrel when I learned this lesson).

Good luck, and good health, to all.

You do get a disease from using Hoppes.
It's called "wanting to buy some more guns."
(Is there a Greek or Latin name for this? armaphilia?)
 
I have been using Hoppes No 9 for over 50 years. Look what it has done for me. Keep using it and you may be just like me someday. Can't wait huh? Jerry

Hoppe's No9?

I like it, 4 parts with one part vermouth and a dash of bitters.

Clean guns with brake degreaser, Comet and a steel brush on a Dremmel tool. Keeps my guns so clean I get consistent 10 MOA groups!
