Re-use Hoppe's?
 
Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to re-use Hoppe's solvent? When cleaning I like to soak my gun parts in a small bowl adding just enough Hoppe's to cover the parts. When finished I usually have left over solvent. My idea was to run the left over solvent through a coffee filter and re-use it. Of course the used solvent would go in a different container, probably a jelly jar or some such.

Has anyone ever tried this? If you have, how did it work for you?

Thanks,
~Robert

..... Never did that. Guess it would be OK... Don't know what you used it for.. If copper removal, it may be used up in that regard. I think I would just discard it and use new.
