Re: Using Mineral Bore Oil

Per "The Doctor", mineral oil doesn't penetrate too deep.

This appears to be a case of time over amount. The mineral oil needs to be removed as quickly as possible.

From my readings on the Internet:

1) Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess inside the bore.
2) Sprinkle baking soda into the bore and use another clean, dry cloth to move the baking soda back and forth to absorb the oil the first cloth missed.
3) Use white vinegar and dishwasher detergent per the following article:

Personally, I would skip the mineral spirits part, but, read that section and decide for yourself if it's necessary.

Best of luck!
