[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2942798, member: 109862"] Acetone!?!? That stuff just keeps showing up as a useful tool in the kit. I use it as part of my bore cleaning regimen now AND as a way to apply hex boron nitride to the inside of the cleaned bore, making a suspension of hbn in acetone, soaking a patch, running it through as the acetone just evaporates away leaving a thin film of the hbn behind. Acetone, pure alcohol, either or. Someone has suggested mineral spirits work even better, I'll have to see. I know I mentioned this elsewhere once but my wife confronted me (in a good natured way) the other day… I had a bottle of her nail polish remover (which is acetone), an old hair dryer that I had been using to apply heat to a vibratory tumbler when tossing projectiles in hbn (might also work for the chicken tumbled rice I mentioned earlier 😁), a nail file with that I had "borrowed" to smooth down a part on something EVER SO SLIGHTLY, all of my conventional tools seemed like they'd be too rough for the job, and I had stolen her tweezers to get some very tiny springs back inside something, I can't even remember what now, but my ape fingers as she calls them kept dropping the spring…tweezers worked great. Anyway, she was a) a little peeved at me for "borrowing" all these things without putting them back and B) genuinely curious, concerned perhaps 🤣, about what exactly it was that I had beEn doing in my "gun room" with a nail file, tweezers, a hair dryer, and nail polish remover!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
