Gun owners rely on quality products for cleaning their firearms and expect the best from anything sold for the enhancement of weapons. Those products must do no harm to any of the materials used in manufacturing that include stainless steel, synthetics, ferrous metals, wood, and alloys. DuraCoat Aerosol is the latest in technology and simple for novices and professionals. Here is some information to help when shopping a Lawrence, KS supplier.

Some people like a smooth finish and others like some other type of texture. Just about any surface is possible with these products ranging from camo to a pearl texture. It is even possible to create layers of texture and then finish them off with a protective coating of the clear product to reduce dings and scratches.

One thing to remember is mixing this product with a hardener. It helps speed up drying time without reducing quality or appearance. Ratios of 12:1 is standard but for faster drying times slightly increase the amount of hardener. It also gives a higher gloss finish at about a 10:1 ratio. Read the directions on the product to make sure of the mixture.

When using templates that stick on the weapon, be sure to remove any residual adhesive materials before applying the product. A clean, dry rag and some mineral spirits will free up and remove the adhesive without damaging the project. Any residue left behind causes bubbles and other distortions that blemish the surface.

Typical drying time is overnight, but the process is accelerated by baking the item for 1 hour at 110 degrees F. At this point, it is safe to reassemble the weapon and test fire it. Once the weapon is thoroughly dry, most cleaners, lubricants, and abrasive solvents will have no adverse effect on the finish.

Many people like the idea of colorizing their weapons and are amazed to find out that there are over 200 factory colors available. Then they find out all of these colors are mixable to create any color and shade necessary to make their weapons unique from those of anyone else.

The most important part of the whole process is to clean the weapon and all its parts. Dismantle it and place the parts in some order that help you remember how they go when putting the gun back together. DuraClean is excellent because it removes all grease, grime, dust, dirt and any other debris without even leaving a film.

As always, make sure the firearm is unloaded and completely dismantled for both safety and access to all areas of the surface, especially any tight corners or recessed areas where the human eye cannot see. Any coating product hardens after drying and presents a possible malfunction in discharging the weapon. Use a dental tool mirror if necessary to examine all internal areas.

Even the smallest speck of dust can render a firearm useless if lodged in an area of tight tolerances and precision accuracy. It is important to keep all firearms properly cleaned and maintained for maximum safety. Ask your local gun store owner about the benefits of protective coatings that help ensure enjoyable gun ownership.
