Bullet Lube Removal

[mike3132]

Ive got 20 T/C Maxi-Hunters that a friend gave to me and they are old. They were in a plastic tube and the lube stuck them in. I got them out of the tube and I boiled them in hot water trying to remove the lube and that did remove some of it. The lube is very sticky and wont come off the bullets. Ive been soaking them in MEK and it also removed some but not all.

Is the something that will remove old lube from T/C bullets? Thanks, Mike

I would use something like oven cleaner, or paint thinner, or gasoline. There are three universal solvents, water, alcohol, and acetone. One of these should work.

I should take them back to the guy who gave them to me and make him remove it......wait a minute that would be you! Mike

Put them in the freezer. Tomorrow try to scrape it off with a screw driver. What could it hurt?
