Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Frog Lube

Has anyone used Frog Lube CLP? If so, does it work as advertised? or is it just another gimmick?

No expirence myself but we sell a lot of it at the gunshop where I work part time.

Lot of guys swear by it.

I've been using it in the paste form, no complaints yet. And nothing toxic or offensive odors with it.

I love the stuff. I have treated all of the handguns I shoot frequently. Clean up is far easier than without it.

On my rifles I treat the bolts and carbon wipes right off.

I've found the Frog Lube products to work well.

I use it on a couple of firearms that are simple to detail strip so that Froglube is exclusively used on every single piece and part. An example is the 1911. I use the paste form, have used it sub-freezing and long term, with stellar results. Don't think anything slicker is known to man.

Only issues I see come from either intermixing with other lubes, or leaving a residual coating. In such cases, it can gum. But, if exclusively used wthout excess, the stuff works amazingly well, and I find it much easier to clean and maintain than other products.

For weapons that I may intermix lubes, I tend to favor TW25B, but Froglube is markedly slicker.

You need to find the post by DIYguy testing out lubes and corrosion resistance on this site in the Hunters Campfire.

Thanks for the info. i'll look for posts by DIYguy.

He's been kicked off the 24HCF.

He does not appear to be banned.


He is the lube test.

His posts are still visible but he's gone.

A real piece of work.

You can send a PM to him, which indicate that he is still active.

I saw his lube/protectant roundup, which seemed quite detailed and informative. What happened that got him chased off?

I am going to try and recreate some of his top lubes as a couple of them don't jive with what I have found.

After the glowing reports from a couple of acquaintances, I tried it but,I didn't find it any better than what I used previously.

Frog Lube is all I use on my XDS. Doubt if id use it on a hunting rifle due to the cold weather reports. Down south would probably be alright. But here in PA I wont take the chance.

What's the "cold weather reports" about? It does get cold in the Dakotas!

A bunch of folks had issues in colder weather with FL gumming up. This was awhile back so if memory serves me right it was on the XDS forum I went to. There were some other links to hunting forums with the same issue so I just made the decision to not use it for cold weather weapons.

If someone freezes up frog lube they are either using too much or using it incorrectly. If you can see it after treating your firearm you haven't done it correctly.

I've had no freezes in sub zero conditions.

I am a fan of Amsoil MP, but I have some Frog Lube and it is good, too. A buddy swears by it.
