I know there is a lot of heated debate about FL, seems you either love it, or hate it, well on another Forum a issue has been brought up.
Froglube and Mold forming on stored guns. I am not sure about linking another forum, and i hate to copy and paste, but here is a pick and a response the OP got back form FL customer service.
here is his first post
"Last night, I opened up my P229 .22 conversion unit. It has been packed away in the case for about 3-ish months. I cleaned, and liberally lubed it with said FrogLube prior to putting it away. Did the same for the P220 unit. Below is what I found last night. They're cellphone pics, but it shows it pretty clearly. It's mold. It's fuzzy on the top and even a bit of crunch on the surface. I then took a look at the P229 itself. Again, it's been tucked away in the back of the safe since before the Holidays. Safe has plenty of dessicant in it too. Anyone else have this issue? To be fair, I'm going to contact FL with the photos and inquiry. Don't know if it's something I've done in application or something else."
here is the response he got from FL customer service.
"Got hold of their CS department. Actually pretty receptive and knew right off the bat what the deal was. It seems that I have older "legacy product" (their words) that has been reformulated to include an "anti-rancid ingrediant" (again their words). Gave me an address to send what's left of my jar (not much) and will send me a jar of "new and improved" at no cost. Told me to simply clean old stuff off gun. (duh!)
I guess the "new stuff" has a gold stripe on the label...so hurry and check yours!!"
