I recently got out one of my milsurp rifles to look at, check and treat it. I have never used "Break Free CO Collector" before but decided to give it a try since it says it protects for up to 5 years. I disassembled the gun and applied the "CO Collector" to all components with a artist's brush. It was pretty thick and went on pretty heavy as advertised. I let it sit expecting it to dry out some and leave a film as with other products I have used. After a couple of days it is still very wet. I store my milsurps in "Bore Stores" gun cases/sleeves with trigger locks. I do not have a gun safe and will not be getting one. (I store my hand guns in a approved locked box). The application instructions on both the container and the Break Free web site are not very detailed or helpful and I have not found answers on the web. Since I assume I cannot put the "wet" gun back into the case I have some questions I would appreciate help with.
-Since I cannot put the "wet" gun back into the Bore Stores case I wondered if I should have wiped down the "CO Collector" after applying and then let it dry some?
-Is the gun staying "wet" after applying the Collectors normal or should I have a applied it differently?
-If the gun staying this wet after application is normal, how do people store them like this?
-Will the wet oil affect/hurt the wood?
Thanks in advance,
