Organic Compound? Maybe left over Canola will develop bacteria? Lol. try the butter flavor if you go through with it. I use Astroglide in an aerosol can, personally.

I know what I am about type will be heresy to many of you. But this comes from my personal experience as a shooter and hunter since the mid 1970’s. 20 of those years spend in the US Army, and 15 more years in LE. When it comes to firearm lubricants, most of what you read is pure hype and BS. ANY of the major well-known names or brands will work more than satisfactorily for 99% of all shooters. Gun Oil manufacturers are like the “Snake Oil” salesmen of old. Each one of them will tell you they have a better product than the next guy.
The stuff I paid a lot of money for has been no better than the stuff issued for free or purchased at a discount. CLP (Breakfree) was an excellent product when it came out in the 1970’s and is still an excellent product today. Shooters Choice FP-10 is another good product. But that does not mean there aren’t dozens of oils or lube’s out there not as good. Want a good high quality oil which will not drain your wallet, Mobile 1 Synthetic Engine oil works fine. Is there any gun lubricant which if used does not require you to clean your gun ?!?….…(or at least not often)..….well at least one maker of such a product makes that claim. If you believe that you go ahead and keep on believing it…….no magic lubes….no magic cleaners…….but if you sleep better at night believing your gun is treated with such a product – more power to ‘ya.

Break free works very well on greasy car parts
Better than brake cleaner

Did you spray the whole gun with canola oil? That thing has got to be hard to hold on to now.
I do like Lucas because it sticks to Nickle Boron better than my Hopps. I still use my hopps to keep my blued steel coated. I also use Rem oil and for grease I have been using a small tube that came in a hopps gun kit in 1980 somthing. It's grease it will work. The one thing I noticed about the Lucas is when I take my gun out to look at it there isn't a ton of oil on the outside which leads me to believe it is sticking to the parts I put it on. I am with rob62. I have been using Hopps since the mid seventies and it still works great for what I use it on. I am going to incorporate the Lucas product in with it and use that same old grease I have been using for 30 years. The picture under this post are guns that are 40 and 50+ years old and have had nothing but Hopps used on them. They are in impeccable shape and the steel looks brand new. The actions still work like brand new. Other than the lever gun all these guns were lubed and wiped down with Hopps since the day they were new.
