Amazing!
 

I am impressed. Well done and very ingenious. All the best...

Heck I'm very impressed, and as usual I can't wait to see the results.

Rather than posting the day of the failure on the thumbprint portion of the indoor plates I have waited to lump the recent failures into a single post. Here they are. Again this is only in the thumb print area of the plate.

As for the outdoor boards. Board #2 has now had every product show corrosion at 29 days. Board #1 is at 30 days with the same remaining products still fighting off corrosion.

Thanks for your time and effort on this project and well done Rancid, appreciated and very informative.

If you ever have ambitions to do another test including additional products, I'd recommend you include Prolix.

Thank you for all you do to help us here at HC. I am very impressed with your work.

Here is an update on the corrosion boards after 43 and 42 days outside.

The last three samples on board #1 are about to give up.

Board #2 samples are all finished. Every sample is showing corrosion.

The indoor samples (after 41 days) are showing more failures. (Only in the thumb print area)

Rust prevent, WD 40 regular), Militech1, Strike hold, Archoil, 3 In One iol, Kroil, Hoppe's MDL. Mil Poro 7 have now failed along with the others that had failed earlier.

As mentioned earlier I put together a device to capture the dynamic coefficient of friction for all the products I have previously evaluated (including a static friction evaluation)

Ive tabulated the results and they are similar to those of the static coefficient of friction evaluation.

Here is a video showing how the evaluation was conducted and how excess lube actually worsens or confounds our attempts to make metal slide easier against one another. The video will show that only in the absolute minimalist state do the gun lubes actually reduce the friction/drag forces.

All the products were run through the friction device and the chart below shows how each product performed in comparison to one another as well as dry steel (no lube at all)
