Applying solvent on brushes, patches, etc

[heiner39]

What does everyone use to apply bore cleaning solvent? I know solvent bottles can be purchased through a place like Sinclair International and some guys use things like eye droppers. Just curious what you guys are using to get the solvent on the brushes, patches, etc.

I use a glass eye dropper for solvents in bottles. But now I used bottles with nozzles, mostly.

Put the patch on the jig and dip it in the bottle. Simple. As for brushes, I just dip the end of the brush in the solvent. No problem.

Except for the comtamination of the remainder in the bottle.

+1 that is why I use eye droppers.

I have a plastic dropper I got somewhere years ago, hasn't melted yet.

syringe on barrel mop- my doc gave me a big one that'll hold a couple of oz- just flush afterwords with soap and water

I use small plastic .99 bottles with small extruded tips that I got from WSS.

I have another shooter friend who uses ones like the pic below:

I've been contaminating my solvent for about 45 years now. I feel OK with it. I've been told I have let progress pass me by. Oh, well. Regards, Bill.

I don't pour solvent on the brush or dip the brush in the solvent. I push a couple of patches soaked with solvent through the barrel first, then use the brush.

Used syringes from junkie drop boxes.

++ for Wipeout. I used it for the first time this weekend and was blown away by how much copper and powder it pulled from the barrel. I consider myself pretty anal regarding bore cleaning, I did usual with my normal solvent till the patches came out clean and then went at it with the Wipeout, I was almost ashamed at how the patches looked. I followed the instructions provided and used only a patch - amazing. Anybody tried it with a brush?
