[QUOTE="mtnboomer, post: 2576180, member: 32439"] Ed's Red Bore Cleaner Uses: General bore cleaner, plastic wad remover and carbon solvent. Formula: 1 part Dextron II, IIe or III automatic transmission fluid [GM Spec D20265 or later] 1 part K1 [B]Kerosene[/B] 1part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits [Fed Spec TT-T-2981F] (CAS# 64741-49-9) or Stodard Solvent/Varsol (CAS# 8052-41-1) 1 part Acetone (CAS# 67-64-1) Variations: Substitute methyethylketone/MEK (CAS# 78-93-3) for acetone. Substitute turpentine for mineral spirits. (Original Frankfort Arsenal formula) Substitute Kroil penetrating oil for kerosene. Substitute Goo-Gone (citrus-based solvent) for mineral spirits. Add one (1) pound of anhydrous lanolin (CAS# 8006-54-0). (Not a necessary ingredient) Mixture will flow from -65 degrees F. to 600 degrees F. before carbonizing. Mixing Instructions: [B]Mix in a well-ventilated area![/B] Use a clean one (1) gallon metal or heavy-gauge, chemicalresistant plastic container (PET, PVC or NFPA-approved plastic gasoline container). [I]DO NOT use high density polyethelyne (HDPE) as the acetone will attack and melt it![/I] Glass is, of course, acceptable. All containers must have an airtight seal so the acetone will not evaporate. Add the ATF first. Use the empty container to measure the remaining components. If you chose to add lanolin to the mixture, it must be melted down first. Cautions: Remove any Ed's Red from the exterior of your firearms before storage. While it is harmless to blue and nickel finishes, the acetone will damage stock finishes and possibly some plastics over a prolonged period. [/QUOTE]
