[QUOTE="ElwoodB, post: 154468, member: 3798"] [ QUOTE ] Darn, I was hoping to get another bottle or two! Well, since you are keeping yours [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img], just follow what arthurj and old bear said and it will work great. I find that a steel cored 22 caliber nylon brush will work with most calibers if you find the right sized patch. I usually use the 1 3/4" patch for most calibers under 7mm. For bigger, I use a 6mm brush with 1 3/4" or 2 1/4" patches. Just make sure you use a steel cored nylon brush because this stuff will desolve the brass ones and give you a false reading. [/ QUOTE ] Hi goodgrouper, thanks for the advice, tried it and it works miracles!!! Had some trouble with the patches though - they just would not absorb Coppermelt unless you "rubbed it in"... Is that Coppermelt-specific or am I using the wrong patches? Can you recommend better ones? Cheers, elwoodb. [/QUOTE]
