I've seen mixed reviews of Froglube. I've got a small sampler of it, and have been tempted to try it. Now, not so much.
Like anything else, if you use and apply it as its intended to be used, I doubt youll have any issues.
Ive used many of the other products available over the years, and most worked OK, "if" you followed the directions. I never remember any of them recommending that you slather it on and leave it that way. If youre using ANY of them, and applying their product like that, then youre doing it wrong.
As I said earlier, many dont bother to read the directions, and/or, think they know how to better apply them. None of my guns ever had enough lube on them that there was anything "showing" or "flowing" when it was applied. Ive shot next to people who had so much crap on their guns, that they actually sprayed crap on me with the first couple of rounds fired. Im sure others here have been there too.
As a plus, if you insist on doing the "slather" thing, FrogLubes smell at least wont readily give you away like the usual gun cleaners. Thats another sign youre using to much too, by the way. The smell of Hoppes in aisle 3, is a dead give away.
Again, improper application, give poor results. Over the years, before better things arrived, I literally used gallons of WD-40 on my guns and other things, and never once had any of the problems Ive been told I should have had.Sounds like it behaves a lot like WD-40 over time.
