I'm done with Frog Lube.

[Ole Cowboy]

The stuff is just lubriplate food grade stuff with some perfume and a huge price increase
add some green color and perfume and make your own frog lube:

It is what I use on my guns.

"certified OU Kosher Pareve, HALAL registered"

Damnit pull it out and give it to me!

Out of context winner.....




ETA: I see TX69 beat me to it.

 

[TheDan]

What's in it?

Crisco, bees wax, and mint flavorings

get a small can of lubriplate food grade 0 weight aluminum based grease

It's aluminum based and considered food grade? Bummer...

That's a good tip, tho. I'll check that stuff out.

It was written up in several gun magazines years ago.
That's where I learned about it.

Gotta love it when claims for lubes are that they soak into the metal.

Remember the old days of Rislone, STP, Arco graphite motor oil (and many others long forgotten)?

Yeah, I admit getting suckered in. Mostly they are all gone, hassled by various government advertisement truth enforcers, now replaced by the super successful Lucas line of products.

lol, yeah... We've already gone over that in this thread, but some people still swear that's the way it works.

I'm running Zmax in my BCG and PowerUp in my lower, my operating temps are way down and I went from 1 inch groups to sub moa

Yeah, but what kind of milage are you getting?

This could be the thing that brings peace and understanding to the Middle East.

Sucks tho- Aluminum? I have more respect for the Jews than thinking that they approve of edible aluminum. Come on Jews let's ban eating aluminum and start putting whatever we want in our refrigerators. Separate refrigerators aren't equal.

 

[Davetex]

Is this the bad hamburger thread or the frog lube thread, I'm confused.

greases are made up of two parts. Oil and thickener or soap. The aluminum grease spoke of here isn't aluminum like you are thinking in the sense of metal that air planes are made out of. They use aluminum isopropylate mixed with acids, sometimes fatty acids and it creates a sponge effect that soaks up or pulls in the oil and holds it into place so it can do the lubricating.
The thickener, or soap is just the carrier for the lubricant. The food industry has used this type of thickener for years because it has been approved for "incidental" contact in food factories and it seems to pump well in distribution lines which are common in food production. I have been in plants like this that make food containers and they use this type of grease for those reasons.
The approvals are something they have to get from the USDA.

And the Kosher approval for certain plants that make these foods actually sometimes have a Rabbi fly over the plant and bless it.
No kidding.

an aluminum complex based grease would make a good gun grease.

sorry man, this is serious bizness in here. No time for tomfoolery and asshatery.

if you want fun, you need to go to the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Cooker thread.

You are right. I feel like I'll be ok though- during halftime I put mega man x in my super nintendo and beat the penguin, bird, monkey and armadillo. I saved the numbers to skip to that spot next time. I'm going after that damn elephant.

ok... well if you just beat your monkey, that may be a little more info than we needed.

You win again.

I was going to make a comment about throwing softballs at me, but that wouldn't be appropriate for this caliber of thread.

Frog juice doesn't soak into guns?

Don't squeeze your frogs too hard. A gentle rub into the aluminum or steel. Umm frog juice, gets right in those micro fissures

Oh Oh Oh! I could let the hamburger grease soak into the micro spaces of my 15 and shoot ragged holes at 1000 meters!
