Georges,

   I have to think on that one a bit.  Hoppe's Bore Cleaner 
doesn't smell like any laquer thinner I ever remember, but 
maybe my memory isn't so good any more.  I know the stuff 
is designed to lift both lead and copper residues from a 
gun or rifle barrel, and one can see the copper turn green 
if one lets the stuff soak in the bore a few minutes.

   My favorite treatment for wet plugs is genuine CRC 
"Brakleen" (R) - the red label can, not the green, non-
clorinated one.  Why that brand?  Because besides having 
an excellent solvent, it also has enough propellant pressure 
to displace debris.  And, no, I have no financial interest 
in the copy ... other than owning about a dozen cans of 
the stuff.

Regards,                     
Dale R.                              (___

(it's 110 in the shop, time to come in the house and get 
underfoot of my spouse for a few hours.)
