[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1848414, member: 109113"] I've been using Wipe-Out for decades, and I just let it soak all night in the bore. Years ago, I talked with the guy who owns the company, and he said that is safe to do, and that there is no ammonia in it. I have never smelled anything like ammonia while using it. I have also tried the Accelerator, but don't have a lot of experience with it. Most of the time I'm not in any hurry so I just do the all-night soak. I plan to try a shorter soak with Accelerator, followed by an all-night soak to check to see if the trial with Accelerator left anything in the bore. So far, I have been extremely happy with the results, but I must say that it is a bit sloppy to use. When I run out of the foaming kind, I plan to switch to the Patch-Out. It's probably easier to keep from making a mess with than with the foaming solution. This stuff will destroy oil finishes on walnut stocks, and I take special pains to cover everything up before using it. That said, probably most copper removers will do that. I don't know what, if anything, it would do to a synthetic stock, or the finish on one. I do know that everything else I've tried to remove copper was less effective than Wipe-Out. If I got a bore "clean" with any of the ammonia-based solutions in my cleaning kit, I was still able to get more copper out of the same bore with Wipe-Out by soaking the bore all night. I have also used the Hawkeye borescope to check this, and it confirms that the other solutions weren't getting all the copper out, and the Wipe-Out did. It even worked better than using mild abrasives. I recently picked up another one of their products, called Tactical. It's for carbon and powder fouling, as well as copper. I haven't used it much, so I won't comment on it yet. Has anybody had enough experience with this stuff to evaluate its performance ??? [/QUOTE]
