[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1446429, member: 10755"] It’s not the heat, it’s the number of passes causing the solvent to ‘foam’. Sweets’ does very little until it foams up, I use a nylon brush instead of a loose patch, it gets it foaming sooner, then I leave it in the bore for 15 mins, then patch out. I do this several times with sweets using brush then patch until no more copper is seen. If you are using brass jags or brushes, you can get false blue from the solvent, so just be wary of this. Funny thing, I rarely chase copper fouling, I’m more concerned with carbon fouling and shooting with the same conditions as the last time I shot. Sure, I clean, but only at the end of a season or if accuracy goes away. A few passes with Hoppe’s #9 after a shoot is enough for me. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
