Senior's moment, the gun wash I'm talking about is used in body shops to clean paint guns.

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.)
