    This concerns me about using Froglube. Noticed a "gel" around the top of sprayer bottle and the pic is what I found when I took sprayer out. In the house, so temp is not an issue.
    I'm not sure how that would have happened. I left all of my Froglube in the garage over the winter as that is where I load and service all of my weapons. I'm in NC and while we typically have fairly mild winters, this past one was really cold. My FL was good to go and I'm still using the same paste and liquid that I left out there in the cold. Never had the liquid gum up like that and the paste liquified with a little heat as it was supposed to.

    Have you tried warming it up? Is it still slippery?

    After some thought, I wonder if this is a QC issue? Perhaps the "mix" being off? It would explain why some have this problem and some don't. Not knowing if you'll get a good batch or a bad one that gums up is not comforting . Right now Slip, Weapon Shield, and Fire Clean are looking like the best options. I wish I could change the Iosso to Weapon Shield to get a better idea of actual users.

    I've been using CLP for a long time, recently started using the MPRO-7 and the hoppes elite and it's been working great. The hoppes elite seems to stock better and making cleanup a quick ordeal.

    On some really, really stubborn carbon I've used PB blaster...but it smells like hell.

    This is what I am thinking also. Have used FL for a while and have friends who do also. No other bottle has done this. I will try to heat it and see if it blends with the rest in the bottle. I have been using/comparing Slip EWL, FC, and FL on three different pistols as a home style QC test. Most likely the FrogLube will drop out as this bottle empties. I have not had any issues on the FNP 45 that is treated with FL. But the image of that "goop" is is making me wonder.

    From what I've seen, fireclean is the new top stuff out there. I use motor oil (synthetic blends) as it keeps carbon in suspension, lubes, and basically free since I have it laying around - extra from oil changes. What more could you really ask for? To be honest, I think people over-think lube for guns.

    I'm not yet sure how many rounds I shot this weekend, but it was my first time using FireClean and I was kinda surprised to look into the chamber and still see lube in there. With Slip and Militec it usually looks dry after not too many mags.

    None of the above! I do use Break Free CLP as a cleaner....but for lube, it's either good old LSA, or Castrol Syntec 50 wt.
