Ive been using Froglube for at least 5 years now and have really liked the surface protection, ease of touchup cleaning after going to range and lubrication.
I use it on my handguns and it has been great so far.
Recently saw Youtube videos stating that Froglube causes gumming or stickiness of the action of the weapon. For handguns, a video stated that it gummed up so badly that it prevented or slowed the hammer of his weapon to stike the primer. This caused unreliability of his weapon. Action was like being in a barrel of molasses as a description of what happened.
Ive been happy with froglube, but wondered if anyone else had experienced the same complaints.
To me, it seems like the above complaints would occur if you’ve been applying too much frog lube as a lubricant as froglube as applied as a paste could cause the described proble.
I wanted to confirm this as the eco-enviorment, cleaner feel and no smell, and protection qualities and metal lubrication are why I like it.
Any reply appreciated.
I use FrogLube. You never coat any part of the gun with it before thoroughly removing any dirt, grease, lube, oil, etc. Make sure you're applying to clean, dry metal. If there was oil on or around the firing pin when Froglube was applied, that could create a sticky substance when the products mix together while shooting. Froglube on its own liquifies when heated (as in, the heat caused when shooting). I can't see it becoming molasses on its own.
In the fire control group areas, if you don't heat the Froglube when applied, it's possible to overdo it. That could also cause problems.
Best method is use a heat gun or hairdryer to heat the gun after the Froglube is applied. That helps the metal absorb the lube. Wipe off any excess. When cool, the gun should feel dry. The Froglube shouldn't be more than a fine film that's not noticeable to the touch. Less is more.
