		<title>Black Powder Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patch Lube
An excellent patch lube for black powder can be made with 1 part anhydrous lanolin or saddle soap, 2 parts "rust inhibiting water soluble oil,"* and 1 part Murphy's Oil Soap.  Shake well and apply to patches before loading. Cleaning is much easier when using this lube.
*Arco Emulsiplex or NAPA Soluble Cutting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stock Finish Repair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This tip isn't quite a cleaner/lube but it is worth while.  To repair scratches on varnished or epoxy finished stocks try automotive "clear coat" touch up paint available at auto parts stores in little bottles with a brush in the touch up paint section.

		<title>Rust Removal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brake Fluid
For rust removal, try automotive brake fluid.  For light rust rub it on liberally with a patch, allow it to sit for a couple of minutes and wipe off.  For heavily rusted items swab liberally with brake fluid and allow to sit over night.  Burnish the finish with a wool pad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Case  Sizing Lubricants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spray Lube
The spray-on case lubes are probably the best thing to happen to reloading in years.  You can make your own spray case sizing lube in bulk by mixing liquid lanolin and 99% isopropyl alcohol. (While you can (kind of) use 91% isopropyl  alcohol,  its higher water content causes the lanolin to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chemical Case Cleaning Solutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While tumbling cases in an abrasive media provides the best finish, extremely dirty cases can be decapped first (using a non-sizing die) and then washed in one of the following solutions.  The final rinse in soapy water helps prevent tarnishing.  All of these methods were approved by Frankford Arsenal and will not weaken [...]]]></description>

		<title>Case Tumbling Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many pet stores carry ground corncob media for small pet bedding.  It is usually a little coarser than most normal tumbling media but it should still be perfect for tumbling cases (and not get stuck in flash holes).  Prices at my local Petsmart were about 2/3 of the shooting stuff.    [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bore Paste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An excellent bore polishing paste that works as well as JB's can be made from equal parts of  BonAmi™, paste wax (like Johnson &#038; Johnson or Butchers), and light oil.  The BonAmi is the "doesn't scratch" product.  Regular abrasive cleansers may be too harsh for use in a bore.
Another old standby is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lead Removal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Liquid Solution
For really stubborn lead removal try a 50/50 mix of  3% Hydrogen Peroxide (the common drug store variety) and white vinegar.  Plug the bore, fill it up using a dropper or syringe and let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes.  (Do not let it stand for too long.) You may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gun Oil Substitutes</title>

the minimum amount of lube possible.  You want it lubricated and not an oil field.
Synthetic Automotive Oils
Synthetic automotive oils (such as Quaker State High Performance Synthetic) work well as general lubricants and because of their detergent capabilities they will help to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soaking Method
Those of you who used surplus pulled M118 / M72 173 gr Match or other  pulled GI bullets have probably been baffled about how to removed the asphaltic sealant from the bullets.  The safest way  is to get a bottle of Orange Clean Concentrate http://www.greatcleaners.com/ogi_retail/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=ogi&#038;product%5Fid=17101   and mix it 1/100 [...]]]></description>

For cleaning carbon and dried grease in tight places try generic commercial automotive brake cleaner.  Just as good, more readily available, and MUCH cheaper than the gun stuff.  Products like GumOut™ can also be used.  Note that these cleaners remove any preservative oil or grease coatings on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Copper Fouling Removal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The "Ammonia Solution"
The typical "household ammonia" is only 3 percent and does not work very well as a copper remover. However, to remove copper fouling you can use use straight "strong ammonia" (9 - 10 percent) carried by many janitorial supply houses and hardware stores.  My local ACE hardware carries the 10 percent janitorial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Storage  Rust Preventative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Storage  Rust Preventative
For long term storage you can use Lee Liquid Alox as a Cosmolene substitute. Apply an even coating to all metallic surfaces. "Ed's Red" will readily remove hardened Alox or Cosmolene.
A coating of Ed's Red will also work as a preservative/rust preventative, and makes an excellent bore coater for storage.
