Anybody ever use "Slip 2000" ?
I read that Pat Rogers recomands it in his carbie classes. |

Craploads of people use it/and like it. (see "what grease/oil do you use" thread on this page/forum). That Pat Rogers recommends/uses it says alot..... however it does appear that he is "advertising" it..... nothing wrong with that at all...... and why not? If you believe in a product/might as well sell/recommend it. (to my knowledge he doesn't sell it).
I'm a little more concerned with the "carbon" aspect.... if what you use dries up and doesn't stay put..guess what it won't attract carbon.... "wet" lube that has stayed in place/if it's doing it's job will/should attract/grab/collect "carbon". Something I personally don't give a f&*$ about since I clean/maintain my firearms regularly, that and the fact that I use KG1 which knocks it right out of my rifle/bore etc.. The answer to your question......yes, lot's of people use it and like it... not the least of which is Pat Rogers who's endorsement should be enough for anybody. They're coming to put me back in my cage now. |

I use it exclusively now - used to swear by CLP - no longer. I still use CLP every now and again - especially the spray, but for actual lube, I use the Slip. Slip is definitely more slick and doesn't burn off or evaporate as easily as CLP. -Glenn A lot of people use the term "CLP" as short for "Breakfree CLP", but technically, isn't Slip 2000 also a CLP, meaning it cleans, lubes, and protects? |

Thanks guys!! It's hard for me to break with Break Free CLP. I'm getting a new Stag and should I go ahead and start cleaning it with Slip 2000 or stick to BF for the first few cleanings? It really doesn't matter, they both do the trick. +1 - it's all really preference - I used Break Free for years, on a lot of guns, that had fired a lot of rounds - never really let me down, and it did the job. I personally like Slip better, but it doesn't mean Breakfree CLP is bad. In some cases I like the fact that Breakfree evaporates a little better than Slip - since if it stays wet for a long time, it attracts all sorts of foreign crap like dust/sand/dirt/etc to places you don't want foreign crap. Just my .02. -Glenn |

Petroleum based products such a Break Free will attract much more carbon than Slip 2000 (not EWL). Quoted:

I'm kinda curious about that too. From what I am reading Slip2000 EWL is just a lubricant/protectant. Slip2000 does make a carbon cutter. But I think Hoppes #9 is the most used for that. |

Slip200 works better than everything else I have ever used including CLP. Plus the apartment doesn't smell for days after I clean my guns anymore  . Slip2000 is almost odorless. Plus Mr. Rogers uses it. That alone was enough for me.Pat also uses Vasigil for lube in class.
