Just keep it away from the wood. It will RUIN the finish! That said, I wouldn't use anything else anymore.

I hear this a lot but I have never seen any to buy. I have looked at several gun shops and all they have is copper/brass/bronze and maybe stainless steel. I figure on line but have never done any kind of search and would be leery because of thread size problems. I have a good one piece rod (and a lot of multiple piece) but I do not know the thread size. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

While the rest of the civilized world was tolerating the Super Bowl, I decided to disassemble & clean a long neglected 22 rimfire that I haven't fired in years due to a cracked stock.
Looking down the bore it looked a little fuzzy and the rifling was actually hard to define.
Soaked it down with Wipe-Out and let it soak for an hour, patched it out and the bore was bright and shiny again. I thought it can't be clean yet so I did another application and my patches came out clean.
I don't know how that stuff works, but it works good.

Someone said something about tubing, that is what I do, got a piece from the hardware about 12 Ins. long that fits the chamber tight.
Then I fasten two clamps to the edge of the work bench to keep the rifle from tipping over, stand the rifle muzzle down between the clamps and filler up with WO, leave the can attached to the tube for a minute or two till the pressure goes down, leave the tube in the chamber till its time to brush, nylon brush with a piece of paper towel, VIOLA!

It would work better if the rifle was horizontal, don't have a can of it in front of me but it clearly states that in the instructions.

Wipeout has been surpassed. Boretech elminator and Boretech copper remover work better and faster.

They don't always have all the sizes in stock at one time, but I got everything I needed in two orders a few weeks apart.

Yes I have and it required significant elbow grease and numerous applications. I did a comparison with two rifles and the same amount of rounds down the tube and WO was much easier to apply and yielded better results.

What do you guys use to plug the muzzle and chamber when using wipe out. I like the idea of standing it on the muzzle overnight. Thanks, 163bc

I have not used WO, but when I use Kroil to soak a barrel I use cheap foam earplugs. They form to the bore and seal well. Just my .02
