I've never seen anything posted anywhere about #13 causing any kind of rust other than those two buddiesover on that other forum...

Do not know if it carries any weight but I use dampened patches of just plain old windex, it is an excellent cleaner and works well for me. Do not use wet patches just damp almost like a spit patch.

All I clean my muzzle loader with - at home or at the range - is the clear Windex "Multi Task" with vinegar in it. Works fine. I will also run a quick patch after a final clean down the bore that is saturated with bore butter, and only use bore butter as a lubricant.

I once made a solvent (still have some) and it had water, venigar, and a little lemon juice in it. I will be using it at the range on saturday but I hope it doese not effect the bore butter. Even if it doese my seasoned RB patches should season it up again right?

It really shouldn't if you applied the BB correctly, or whatI think is correctly,it is in the pores of the metal and bit of it will be released each time you shoot and create heat. You also could use "Natural Lube 1000" as a bore swab if you chose to. That is what I used when I first started out. It is an all natural product that a lot of old timers use. Again using dampened patches not wet patches and then dry swab with a clean patch to get the excess out... do not over do it or you contaminate your next powder load and or your breech area... a little bit goes along ways.

I useTC's #13and love it. It cleans everything real well. I just make sure I run a couple of dry patches after it when at the range. It seems todissolve all fouling away. I use it on all parts of my rifles for cleaning. I use Traditionspresoaked patches in wonder lube 1000 plus to protect and season my bores.

tc #13 will freeze in winter.use hoppes patch lubricant.bore butter freezes too.i use alcohal to clean in winter /summer now.both are pain in winter.pain that we dont need when big buck comes sneaking out .only time i use bore butter is when using patchs or maxi-balls which i stopped now. so, only time i use it is with patch and in winter i dont use it on patch, i use hoppes patch lube.trust me, if you hunt in pa. your gun will freeze up with bore butter and tc #13.yet i used it for 35 years but i had a lot of trouble with it. i broke ramrods trying to seat a rb at 10 above do to tc 13/bore butter.i dont use it in winter,noooooooooooooo.
