Using Fire Clean for the first time on my new suppressor. Please no debates about it and Canola oil or anything else.
When applying it to the baffles, do I need to wait a certain time period before firing or is it good to go right after applying? Thanks |

Quoted:
I made the mistake of coating the baffles of one of my rimfire cans. Shot it at an indoor range and the stink and smoke were horrible. I mean REALLY disgusting. That was the last time I used fireclean on anything. Anyone wanna buy a couple of unused bottles? 
IM inbound. There is an actual method to properly prepare the baffles so that it does help in cleaning. There was a thread on here not too long ago. In short, clean the baffles completely, heat up the baffles to 300 degrees (not sure about temp), then dump the hot clean baffles in the fire-clean. When they "dry up", they should feel very slick...mine did...if I shoot a brick out of my Spectre II, I literally just use a brush and paper towels to clean then lightly apply some fire-clean afterwards. |

There was a comprehensive thread concerning this, you'll have to search the archives, I would, but am stepping out. ***ETA*** The end of the second post on this page has a link to the big article. http://www.rrdvegas.com/silencer-cleaning.html |

You're confusing Fireclean and silicone oil. Quoted:

In the thread (I can't find the damn thing!), someone said that they used the fire-clean in the same process as the silicon one and it worked. If I'm wrong...well...
