FROGLUBE® is a cutting edge biodegradable lubricant made from “USDA Certified Food-Grade”. All ingredients are produced in the USA using a proprietary formula. It is a non-toxic substance that dissolves carbon on contact. It has a heavy specific gravity, which enables it to ‘season’ the metal by absorption deep into the pores. Using FROGLUBE® results in a durable dry slick wax-like surface that reduces friction, eliminates fouling, and destroys rust. FROGLUBE® is safe for plastic, urethane, nylon, and wood. FROGLUBE®will give your weapon many extended years of service.

FROGLUBE® will not harm the environment. It can be disposed of without the need for prohibitive HAZMAT controls. Employees will be protected from the affects of working in and around toxic chemicals.

FROGLUBE® IS A BIODEGRADABLE LUBRICANT, CLEANER AND PROTECTANT.
•CONTAINS NO PETROLEUM OR WATER.
•NON-HAZARDOUS IN EVERY WAY.
•PLEASANT MINT SMELL.

I use frog lube exclusively. Having seen how well it protects in bare metal tests. I also like that its biodegradble.

It thickens up when in storage and then becomes very "wet" once the gun heats up. And thats it one downside supposedly.

In colder climates there is a possibility it will gum up, hindering the firearms mechanics. Ive never expierienced it, nor have seen it happen.

I think its a great product, and shoot primarily in the south coastal area of BC

Even in the south coast, cold temperatures are not unheard of. I was hunting outside Pemberton in -15 this past November...

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on this stuff, some swear by it, some just swear at it...

Seems like a good product if you do it right, but I think I will stick with a more conventional oil because I dont have to re-learn how to apply/use THAT...
 
No more frogjuice in use here. Gummy is being polite, after some long term storage, one of my firearms that has extreme close tolerances was near impossible to field strip. I will stick to a synthetic motor oil or chassis grease now.
 
Same here. I had 3 pistols Froglubed during summer months. Not a single issue. But 2 winters ago, same pistols with same application as the previous summer, it was all messed up. All gummed up along the slide. It might be good in near tropical conditions, but not during the arctic months.

It has happened twice to me now where the firearm has gummed up. When it does gum up it will then hold water. Dad had my rifle (Tikka M695 300WM) and was about to make a kll shot on a nice bull. He could not release the safety, it was frozen solid, he ended up breaking off a stick and forcing off the safety, he did indeed harvest an animal, a calf that was alongside the now long gone bull. The other time it happened was with a winchester 1300 defender, which is normally slick as snot. Never again will I use froglube on a firearm.
 
It seems that maybe people ar using too much frog lube? I stripped all components of a semi auto rifle, using the paste and i have tried both heating the parts up and kinda basting them with the paste and then wiping the excess off and stripping then coating with the paste and then heating it up and wiping the excess off , and have had zero problems at 25 below zero, on critical areas i have used a qtip and given a very little extra bit of lube. On the m305 the bolt and roller etc. Other than that it seems like the gun is pretty much dry. I have not had any problems. There is no real visible residue on a finger or a flannel swab.

You should try the G96 Full Synthetic CLP. I swear by it, won't gum up ever.
 
I think the problems people explaining come from too much product on the gun. It doesn't need to be wet to work. I've had no issues with bolt actions, semi auto, pump actions or levers. I've shot at -25 or so without issues.

Depends on the semi, but all the rest are manual action, you wouldn't have issues with those, I definetely didn't use to much on my semi pistol and the slide was almost cycling in slow motion.
 
These comments are all appreciated. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to use Frog Lube. There are literally dozens of videos to watch on Youtube that will help you decide if this is the product for you.
 
I would not use anything else in my AR's, maybe 5K rounds and i dont recall a single true malfunction ( got bad ignition du to primer ) this FL is awesome, but i dont shoot in the cold... JP.

I've used it on a Marlin 60, ruger SR-22, a mini-14, and Browning buckmark. All without issues.

My method is to heat the metal up, apply product, let it sit, heat it again wiping the product away.

I think froglube's secret is to leave very little left on the gun after cleaning.

I tend to agree, the only time I have had problems is when I got lazy and just coated my slides with a wet Q-tip or just put a few drops on the slide and then put the pistol away for an extended period of time. When you bring them out again, even in the warm weather they act like they are packed with grease and won't cycle properly.

Great stuff, but it has to be applied properly.
 
I've been using Froglube on all my firearms (pistols, AR, shotguns and rifles) and have been in all sorts of environments. Ive never had any issues. If you follow the directions and apply it as it states there is no reason why you should be having issues. I won't use any other CLP product on my firearms.
 
I've used it, like using it. I had no problems until used on a gun that sits for months. Froglube is a natural food grade oil, it "goes bad". Your slides are sluggish and it gets paste like, smells bad too. lol The problem with froglube is that almost all of us have an uncontrollable need to see that a lube is present. I do however believe that if you use it as directed there probably won't be issues. Herein lies the problem...... How does one make themselves comfortable using a firearm that looks dry ? I also have a difficult time believing that it "gets into the pores" of the metal. My firearms were definitely easy to clean while using Froggy, frequent use and regular cleanings = no problems.
