    The point of being a paste is that it stays put without running or evaporating and does not attract dust and other airborne crap. When you need it to lube during firing it turns to a slick liquid.

    The liquid grabs the fouling, keeping most of it off the weapon and turns back into a paste when the weapon cools.

    Clean up is a wipe down and reapplication.

    Sounds like a slippery conspiracy. I don't see the big deal here and personally I could care less since the product works for me.

    As long as it's not a Vulcan/Hesse Arms fairy-tale, I'm on board as well. It just really reminded me of that with all the SEAL this and SEAL that and parent company hiding behind offshoot with no link, etc. I wanted to know if it was a legitimate product or some re-branded junk that just looks good on the surface. I remember how hard you guys beat up on one lube a few years ago and just said "It's re-packaged silicone". There is no anti-wear additive. Of course, the lube LOOKED, FELT, and PERFORMED great for many people. Just sucked at preventing wear. It was some stuff "Mad Ogre" or whatever came up/championed with as I recall.

    MadOgre is currently peddling "nano" lube under the name "Slipstream."

    I wouldn't be using it and recommending it, if it was junk. The fact is that I have been using it for close to 6 months now and it does exactly what I NEED IT TO DO.

    For the record- I don't know who "you guys" are. But, I had some of that Nano-lube stuff sent to me and it seemed decent enough. But, I didn't see it as a major advancement over Weaponshield, Slip2000 or Militec. All of which work very well.

    What works for me in Arizona or Iraq or Timbuktu may not be the same for someone in North Dakota or Florida.

    I would say instead of doing some rusted nail test you actually use it on a firearm and shoot it.

    Exactly. Noone will touch his stuff because he has had so much stuff that is a gimmick. When I look in a company's history and see that they are identical in nature, it makes me question their current offering. Hence this thread. I want to know if Trillium is another Mad Ogre.

    Applied to my Noveske, will shoot it during my "weekend" (this week).

    The application was text-book according to what I understand and I have high hopes, I just don't want to shoot my AR with what amounts to canning-wax on the BCG if this is another sham is all.

    I addressed FrogLube with this information/these links in public forum and they have responded:

    "Jonathan, this is news to us, we're checking in to it now. We owe you an answer. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. And thanks for your support for using FrogLube!"
