Hey gang,
I usually clean my muzzleloading locks with hot soapy water. When rinsed, I blow them dry with compressed air. I then place on a rag and saturate with WD40, gun oil, and or CLP. I let them sit a day or two to let the excess run off. The other day I did the same procedure, but used some Ballistol. After sitting for two or three days I went to wipe down the lock and put back in the rifle. I noticed waxy chunks of lub all over the lock. Mostly around the mainspring and tumbler. Something is causing this mixture to coagulate. Thoughts????
