Hoppe's no.9. It's not just for gun cleaning anymore.

Wdbutcher97 · Jan 10, 2021

I was helping my Wife get dried paint stains out of my work shirts today. Denatured alcohol will usually soften latex paint, but this time it didn't touch it. My last resort is usually lacquer thinner, but I had none. I did have some Hoppe's no.9, so I decided to give it a try. Along with a brass bristle brush I was able to remove most of the dried latex paint and also some anti-seize that I'd given up on before. I was pretty pleased with how it all came out, but my Wife wasn't thrilled with the smell

My wife dabs a little behind each ear when she wants some attention. Very sexy!

Yep, that would work!

Be sure to drop the used patches in the bag to get the kitchen trash smelling nice.
Also, mix with wood chips and dried flowers for easy poporri.

HA! I had to show this to the wife to prove that I'm not he only one who does this!

Take my word for it....

DON'T use it to remove pine tar from the hood of your car.

I was dumb and young once. LOL!

I'm guessing the result was similar to this- from one of my "desert island" books, "Chocolate, The Consuming Passion" by Sandra Boynton (page 77 for any of you who have it):

Well, it easily removed the hardened pine sap, like real fast! But, also the paint! LOL!

My wife never knew what would be stuck to, painted on or ground my work clothes. She had a small box with "Goof-off", "Rust-Out", Zippo lighter fluid, "Oops" & "Les-toil" right by the washer!

Red stains in carpet (from spilled red wine) Come out with household ammonia and a water damp wash cloth with a hot iron on top! If the carpet is a shade of brown, that comes with it! (Then I used soft paste shoe polish the mix a color of brown to match)

I have a baseball cap from the NRA That got into a paint spill an inch thick and dried. I broke it off, and sanded it off, and used Goof Off, and washed it, and there was latex paint in the fabric, so I colored it black with a Magic Marker!

Some women wear Channel #9. I think it stinks.

But give me a women that smells like Hoppe's #9 and she'll be a keeper forever.

I had some gum stuck to the sole of one of my shoes. Straight acetone wouldn't budge it. Hoppes #9 took it right off.

Try a product called Krud Kutter next time. It takes latex paint three days to cure and that stuff will get 99% of it in that time frame. Scrub it till you can see it breaking up then a couple of cycles thru the washing machine. After three days it will still get a lot of it. It's water-based too so no stink no solvent smell.

This is why I like this place.

Yep, I've done the Magic Marker thing after working with chlorine for a swimming pool. It's not as permanent as they would like you to think. It's still better than white spots.

If you still use charcoal bricketts in your outside grill and are out of starter fluid.......Hoppes No. 9 makes a great starter fluid. It also gives a nice flavor to the steaks...

One quarter of a shot glass is just right to get a nice flame going. DO NOT use a full shot glass full......don't ask me how I know.

Like most of us, I have loved the aroma of Hoppe’s #9 since day one for sure. And while that scent can never be replaced, I have another love in the same realm of gun stuffs:

Kano Kroil. Intoxicating. I wouldn’t know how to describe it but to say that it’s fantastic.

I think Hoppe's #9 stinks, always have.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Please don't tell my wife. I was hoping to convince her that she was the only person that didn't like it.

"The oil that creeps"... up your nose, wraps itself around your eyeballs and... I find it even more obnoxious than WD40. Works a treat, but as an old gf's English mum used to say in her Midlands accent, "It dun't half pong!" Full pong, IMO!

Hoppe's no.9. It's not just for gun cleaning anymore.
