Anyone using Anti Spatter Spray to reduce comp buildup?

[Scrounger]

I started using anti spatter spray in my comp to reduce buildup between cleanings in my PCC and 22. Nice thing with the 22 is I can screw my comp off and drop it into solution. 
 

I’m not sure I notice much if a difference. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, or I just can’t get the good stuff in California?

I haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard you need to use the anti splatter gel and not the spray somehow (I don’t know, just what I’ve been told by people who swear by it)

[Scrounger]

Thank you. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong.

Yea, I use it on my comp and my stainless steel revolver. Works great.

Normally you use it for welding. It's so you can clean up the slag spatter of molten metal.

 

I use this 

 

Weld-Aid Weld-Kleen Heavy Duty Anti-Spatter Liquid, 20 oz https://a.co/d/0M9saTn

Description

 

Weld-Kleen Heavy Duty, a convenient solvent based, quick-drying aerosol that allows for pre-heat, higher duty cycles and higher temperature applications. Excellent for fixture and tooling protection. Paintable, non-flammable, no fluorocarbons.

 

Base metal and fixture applications become easier to clean and remove unwanted weld spatter. Regular use of these products reduces the need for grinding and other clean-up tasks. Cuts costs by reducing downtime. 20 oz aerosol can.

That’s the same stuff I bought. I’m still picking away lead/carbon off my 22 comp. Someone told me you have to use it from day 1 when the comp is new for it to work best.
 

What’s your cleaning regimen? Maybe I’m applying it wrong?

For my revolver I clean the gun, spray it on, shoot it, wipe it off, reapply.

 

 

For my PCC, I clean the comp, apply it, shoot jacketed bullets, apply more, shoot it more, apply more....

 

...never clean the comp, don't care.

[Scrounger]

Thanks.  Do you apply it at the range too, or just between shooting sessions?

No, just squirt it at home. Try different things. See what works for you.

 

I'm not really anal about cleaning my guns. I just shoot the crap out of them.

Anti Spatter didnt work for me. Frog Lube worked better.

never thought about using anti spatter. I'm using case lube before a stage.

Spray or the tub of wax? I have the tub of wax but never considered using it for this. Any input?

I use the tub called HOBART.  It works great on the revolver and also my compensators.  Just use a brush to put it on and I'm good for a couple of days.
