Another thought would be an to wipe an oily plant leaf on it. Not sure I can think of any, but just brain-storming here.


I like the other trick my father told me you could do to clearn the barrel ot is to pi$$ down the barrel while the barrel was still hot.

Use to use the same nose oil trick to prevent metal ferrals on a fishing rod/pole from sticking together.
