[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2282593, member: 94154"] For me, it's the opposite of using tools -- I will always clean off my hand tools before putting away. With dies, it's always a state of "establish known good" for sizing, bump, and seating. [LIST] [*]Before use: [LIST] [*]Check lock ring state [*]disassemble, wipe down with clean, dry rag. [*]On body die, verify vent hole is clear [*]No application of lube of any sort to die body. [*]Very light application of wax or coconut oil to expander. [/LIST] [*]After use: [LIST] [*]Spray the internals with CMC Penetrating Oil and wipe out excess. [*]Wipe down externals with same penetrating oil or spray with Ballistol (whichever is close at hand). [*]Put away in die case. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
