How long can you leave quick scrub solvent in the barrel.

I have heard good things about the new Quick Scrub solvent made in OZ, so I have a big bottle of it now, but I have a question about leaving it in the barrel. My usual (lazy) cleaning method is to run 3 wet patches through the barrel after a shoot, then patch it back out when I shoot next, sometimes up to 6 weeks later (real high tech hey?). Does anyone know if it is one of those solvents which can be left in a barrel for an extended time, or will it start to react with the barrel metal after a while?

Short Scrub is designed to be left in.

You may leave it for any length of time you like,however,after after 2/3 days it will have become benign but will still have the oil base.

I recommend you change it at least weekly.

Thanks Tom. So it ends up leaving an oily layer to pretect against rust does it?

[Tom Lowndes]

Yes.

It is oil based unlike some on the market that are water based.

My contact details are on the bottle if you need them.
