Frog lube doesn't actually "soak" into the metal. It just looks like it does. I believe Frog Lube is a solid at room temperature, and the heating just helps it spread thoroughly on the surface. Interesting video.

I don't hate Frog Lube. I use MPro7 because I've been really pleased with the job it does. But I have to admit that I've always been intrigued by the Mobil 1 idea. |

Interesting video. I work in a metal fabrication shop, trust me metal has pores and will absorb material that's on it. Try tig welding a piece of aluminum thats been exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Any way when you heat metal it expands and the pores open up more. When you put FL on hot metal it liquefies allowing it to be absorbed into the warm metal easier. I had my BCG so hot that after the 30 min wait before you wipe of the excess FL There was no excess on my BCG. |

I initially used froglube because I couldn't stand the smell of CLP once it got hot. After using it heavily for about a year now, I am blown away how well it works.

I've had really good luck with froglube. It's given some of my rifles the slickest action they've ever had. As long as some is applied to the barrel below the gas plug on my ACR, the build up that comes from shooting is just wiped away. I've had the same experience with gunk on my AR BCG and bolts.
There's some other stuff that has fire in the name that is like to try. I can't remember the name atm. I tried Mobil 1 and didn't care for it. I tried high temp lithium grease once as an experiment and it worked better than the Mobile 1 but was still sort of crappy. |

I really like Froglube and cleaning inside.
I think people have been dunking their guns in it and running out in 2 degree weather and wonder why their guns jam. I could do the same thing with lithium grease.

There are plenty of excellent lubes without the song and dance involved in application and that won't grow mold inside your gun.

Hmm, I might have given Frog Lube a try, if my BCG wasn't NiB coated. I technically do not have to use any lubricant at all, but I have always used Mobil 1 and it's worked very well.
I have never heard the reason why the military likes to use CLP over other wet lubricants. (synthetic engine oil etc) |

CLP says it has a 2 hour cure time. What happens during that time? Just wondered.
I have been using it and Mobile1 and don't see any need to do anything different. |

Unsure with steel and lube. |

I did a thread on this in the Glock Forum... I like the stuff, and I think it smells great!
My experience so far is that it works as advertised... but the main thing I like about it is that on a CCW pistol it doesn't collect lint and dust and won't migrate to the end of the barrel and eventually end up on your clothing... pretty neat stuff IMO -Clint |

Yeager always seems like he's needing to take a hit. But I've been using Frog Lube for about 9 months. In 105 degree heat down to 19 degrees. Never a problem Run it in a AR, Glock 19 and a XDs. All 3 seemed to like it. I've started running it on my bolt guns and have only noticed a slight difference. Nothing to write home about there.
