[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1135544, member: 90399"] I use a lot of the Non-Chlorinated No Residue brake cleaner. For a while I was just using stuff I could find that stated No Residue. Not sure where I heard it's best to use the stuff that says Non-Chlorinated also. Another trick I do when coating firearms is using my construction lights pointed at the parts overnight. It keeps them around 100-120 degrees and keeps the humidity way down. I don't heat my pole barn all of the time so this really helps. 2 sets of lights is 4x 500W bulbs. I get the 99 cent bulbs from Harbor Freight. I noticed most of these 500W bulbs will burn out quick if turning them off and on too often. If I just leave them on while they are baking my metal parts, they last a long time. I'm usually getting 6-10 overnight bakings before they burn out. I keep the temps in check with an infrared thermometer. I'm fairly positive that I could get the metal parts above 200 degrees if I put the lights close enough. But I haven't seen a need to heat them that much yet. [/QUOTE]
