I have just bought some hoppes solvent and patch lube, I had to special order it here so I felt committed to take it home but it's not what I expected.I didnt know that it was a liquid.I thought I read somewhere that it was like bore butter in consistency, anyways I dont care as long as it works. I have had a problem with bore butter freezing in really cold weather so I want to try something else. I know some of you guys use this stuff. what do you think is the best way to use it. I have a real problem with setting a wet patch on black powder. Thanks.
