I honestly did not like how gummy it got in my guns. It was great when first applied but after a while in the gun it got very sticky. I gave away what I had, not for me.

Odd, I use it in my hand guns with great success; although I do service them every time they are shot.
I have not exposed them to extreme cold temps, I could see how the Frog Lube could solidify in extreme cold temps. But you shouldn't have that much lube in there to begin with. I have not heard of a new formula... |

I keep it on the night stand, next to the box-of-tissues. Is that not what it's intended for?

I used it when it first came out. I also believe I applied too much, and it did gum up. However, my main complaint was that if I DIDN'T apply a lot (say, just a thin film), my weapon rusted (Noveske, it was the back half of the bolt that rusted, after I wiped the powder fouling off with a microfiber and left a thin sheen of FL in place as instructions stated). I discontinued use after that experience.

I've been using Froglube for a year and found that it has a very quick drying rate. If I applied Froglube the night before going to the range, it works like a dream. Very smooth, and shoot hundred of rounds without problems.
However, if I let froglube sit, for let's say a week or two, I notice the performances are very sluggish, and dries up in a matter of 100 rounds or so. The bolt is bone dry and doesn't function very well at all. And yes, I do heat my guns up before applying it. As far as it gumming up your weapons, I don't find this true at all. However, I did have a bag of bolt carrier groups that I have in storage lubed with froglube. I notice at the bottom of the bag is sticky fluid. Not sure what happened. Overall I am done with froglube. I do believe since in the military they clean their weapons frequently that Froglube will do fine in that regard. It seems like if you apply it at least a few days before shooting it, you'll be fine. |

I have to admit that I did enjoy trying out and testing at least 3 to 4 different new snake oils that have came out over the past few years, but when all was said and done I ended up going back to the tried and true that I never had any problems with in the first place anyways. Just thought I would enjoy trying something new.
I am pretty much done with the whole snake oil thing. SLP 2000 products is what I'm going to stick with from now on. I will say that my favorite out of the whole bunch of snake oils was the frog lube. |

I remember when Militec 1 came out and was supposed to be the best wonder lube. It was proven over and over to be junk. Frog Lube is the new Militec 1. Slip2000 has proven to be the best lube on the market and has Aberdeen Proving Grounds testing to back it up as well as countless customers in the real word saying nothing but good stuff. Why use a bull shit product when there are much better, proven choices to be had(not just Slip2000)?

I am done with the snake / cooking oil. Frog Lube has gummed up on me if I didn't stay on top of it... Don't even think about getting that stuff into a revolver's lock work.
If you have more than two guns and sometimes don't get time to shoot a lot, sometimes they sit in the safe for a while and they get gummy. I do think most people use too much, me included. Anyway, done with all of it. (Marketing guys, you listening?) I am going to mix up a jug of Ed' Red or some other concoction and call it a day. Recipe I found online: 4 quarts synthetic motor oil (weight your choice based on your climate and AOR) 1 quart synthetic automatic transmission oil 8 oz Hoppes #9 1 pint STP synthetic oil treatment Pit Snipes used to use wintergreen oil to break apart stubborn bolts, maybe a drop or two of that.. May throw in some EVOO for good measure. I once had a SEAL Master Chief yell at me because I wasn't using Mobile One on my guns....I should have listened. |

I had shot the weapon all heavily lubed with Froglube paste, and when I cleaned it, I just wiped it down/off without adding anymore. What remained was a thin sheen that made everything look "wet". 24 hours later when I got the weapon home, there was orange rust speckles on my bolt. I have never had that happen with any other product. |

Use either the motor oil or the ATF. The ATF will do everything all the other stuff will do. ATF and Acetone is a super cleaner and penetrating oil. I use Slip 2000EWL. |
