Some of the old Mule Deer instruction links are now dead. There are no instructions on the dynatek web site that I can find. Looks like there used to be, but google Chrome browser now says they are not safe https://store.dyna-tek.com/Bore-Coat-Article-s/1839.htm
It seems the printed instructions no longer match the old video. Now the rifle bore is to cure 4 hours vertically with the muzzle set on an absorbent surface. I coated 5 rifles tonight, using the new written instruction in my newly arrived package. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1...d-alcohol-cleaner-1-oz-aluminum-canister

In reading the instructions one thing is not clear to me: Do you dip once and run the mop back and forth three times or dip each time you run the mop back and forth? Under stand the front and back.
The video does not explicitly answer this question. Only shows how to do the back and forth motion.

Do you dip once and run the mop back and forth three times or dip each time you run the mop back and forth?
I don't have good answers. I am just noting the instructions for a first time user are not clear at this time. That was the first time I did it. Application step #5 confused me for a while. I am assuming we point the rifle down now, to keep the fluid from running into the action. I am assuming we cure 4 hours pointed straight down for even and thin coating. I am assuming if there is fluid pushed ahead and dripping when the mop comes out the muzzle, that the whole bore length got covered.

I also take a rag and make sure I removed all the DBC from outside the barrel (i.e. near the muzzle). I didn't do that once and a bit of DBC hardened there and it was difficult to get it off.

I clamp my cleaned rifle in a padded vice, barrel straight down. I tape a shotgun hull to the muzzle to catch runoff product. I dip a loose fitting patch, use a slotted tip, run it back and forth as I advance it down the barrel, chamber to bore. I do that several times. I turn the gun upside down, muzzle up, block the chamber with a rag and repeat the process.
Prep is the secret. I use a Hawkeye borescope to make sure the bore is absolutely clean before starting the process.
I usually let DBC dry for a few days or until I get to the range. Sometimes it may be a week or two.
After a few shoot and clean cycles, cleaning seems to get even easier. I have premium barrels, Hart, Brux, Kreiger, etc. that just about don't foul even after a number of rounds. And, that's checking with the Hawkeye. I swap out powder residue with Wipe Out, take a peek with the scope and I'm good to go.

Pretty good idea, especially for a coonass!!!
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I would like to see Mule Deer weigh in on this since he developed the original instructions. I've applied DBC both ways: dipping the mop each time I run it through the bore and dipping the mop only once at the beginning. Seems to work regardless, but I thought I had a little better results just dipping the mop once.

Real Cajuns would say that about anyone north of I-10...
Chamber an empty case and apply DBC from the muzzle end.
I like a rag better. DBC can find it's way around the case into the chamber. I don't want that stuff in my action. Even with a rag, I swab out the chamber, although I've heard it's not that big a problem.
