I have melted a pair of grip with spay gun cleaner. I have a melted in finger print on my Lama .22 grip because of that stuff.
Hey that's good to know. I like Hoppes #9, but HATE that this lid on the bottle never completely seals, and if the bottle gets stored on it's side, it leaks like crazy. Maybe I don't like Hoppes all that much. Just got a can of Breakfree CLP, I'll try that for a while.
