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.)

Bill Gun wash is low grade lacquer thinner, any lacquer thinner or brake cleaning
spray will do the trick, the plugs don't have to soak for an hour, a minute
will do. Make sure all the black is dissolved completely, blow it completely
dry.
