[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 457137, member: 2736"] I know lots of people that leave solvents in there barrels over night and have good success but I have also seen many barrels pitted from this practices because they forgot to clean it in the recommended time or did not follow the instructions. I have used the Sweets and It works fast but it scares my because it is so aggressive, so after using any strong solvent I always patch with a mild solvent like Hoppe's to remove any of the strong solvent and then dry patch and oil. I use a lot of Butches bore shine because that is what my favorite barrel maker recommends on his barrels. My comments are more of a warning than a personal choice that no mater what solvent you use follow the instructions to the letter. There is nothing worse than looking down the bore of a fine barrel with a bore scope and seeing pitting from a solvent that was improperly used in an effort to save time and effort . I recommend starting and finishing in the same setting because we sometimes forget (Especially us older guys) or something comes up and time runs out on the barrel. There are only a few solvents that can be left in the barrel indefinitely so if I can't finish cleaning a barrel in one session I just wait until the next day. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
