Soaked my pilot for 6 more days and it is really making a difference.

I skimmed the thread, what about use on rifle cans, is that worthwhile and okay to use on them?

My turn.
The insides are so filthy I wasn't able to properly screw the base back on.

Back tomorrow

23 hours later...

It might be a little bit of fun separating the Super-filthy from the mildly filthy brew....

No it ain't...

Did a little jiggling and a little reworking....The can was So Filthy that much is still coated with grime that I put it back in the solution.

The entire jar of solution is nearly opaque.  I give the jar a jiggle every few hours and

It's going to stay in the jar until Friday.

Assuming it’s Cerakote, any signs of damage to the finish?

I haven't taken the can out of the solution just yet.

That little jar took most of the bottle.
It is so filthy I'll be pouring it down the toilet.
(I can do just that, right???)
I bought it from Amazon.  So I went and ordered another bottle.
SOLD OUT.

I haven't gone back to The Source site; shipping is
Buying a gallon is out of the question right now.  (Wallet is hurting from my latest can purchase )
It is so pricy that I'll probably be using super-juice for Aluminum based cans, brew up The Dip for the rest.

Started off at 14.5 oz. Got it down to 8.3 with bct cleaner an a couple of trips through the ultra sonic.

Ive always just ran the baffles through my wet tumblers and that's worked great.

Here is an interesting story about DMSO possibly killing a woman. Use thick latex gloves with this stuff.

Great info. Thanks!!!

Kept forgetting to say how well it worked.

Oh, so Very Well!
There were some clumps that came off with mild scraping with a bronze brush. (It was THAT filthy)
But, OH!  What a difference it made.
If only it didn't cost so much.

I recall about (I hate to even say this) about 40 - 50 years ago 60 Minutes did a segment on DMSO.  I don't recall their conclusion, not that I would trust them anyway, but it was used as a cure for knees, arthritis, and sore muscles on horses (Ivermectin anyone?) and people used it as well.  It was hard for Dr's to test in a placebo setting as it caused a garlic taste in users. Harmful? I have no idea, but it is used in transdermal patches as it easily penetrates biological membranes (per Google) and carries the meds.  I have no idea what else is in the solution, but knowing all the above, it would be a good assumption that used cleaner could take whatever's in your suppressor (lead) and get into your bloodstream.  Does the package have any warnings?

Yup, March and July of 1980, that'll make you feel old.  Just google 60 Minutes and DMSO.  I'm certain there's more, and more recent stuff out there.

I about 2 years ago OSS put out a video where they soaked one of their can in a cleaner solution and then just shot the gunk out.  In slo-mo they showed an impressive amount of grey colored spooge coming out with each shot, this might be an alternative for those with 'unserviceable' cans.

Getting ready to re-order more of the Super Juice.
I keep thinking of directly ordering the DMSO directly instead of Breakthrough.
Ordering DMSO itself seems rather....Interesting to say the least.
Pastes of DMSO

Let's see how well it does on Bolts.
Shot Suppressed yesterday.
Really filthy

Ok, soaked for a couple of hours...

Except for the rear of the Bolt, it is nicely clean.
As this is where most of the crud is built up I'll keep it in for a few more hours.
I usually use steel wool here.

I finally tried some today. From a previous thread, I have a plastic tube from Mini M&Ms (1.77 oz) that is just large enough to place the baffles in. This helps limit excess solution being used.

After soaking the baffles from a Griffin Checkmate for about 3 hours, the solution was totally black and most of the Carbon just washed off in the sink.

Very impressed with the results.

Just peeked


I think I'll keep it in of a day or two

Good idea! I used a bungee strap container from Harbor Freight for a whole can soak.

Finally took it out.
The bolt still needed some steel wool to finish everything.
And a pair of pipe cleaner to take care of the insides.

BUT it looks almost as clean as when I first bought it:

Just purchased these tubes to use in cleaning my suppressors and thought someone else might find them handy.
