kel tec vs bug repellent

[xcr800]

This past winter I picked up a sub 2000 and an su 22.Another month or so the bugs will be out and I was wondering if the polymer kel tec builds their guns out of be damaged by insect repellent .

I doubt it.

I shoot Crown land and in summer im bathed in bug repellant, shoot both Sub2k and Su16 with no visual defects or damage to the polymer

Unless mosquitoes have a PAL,legally they are not allow to touch a firearm without permission and supervision.

On the more serious note most repellents comes in cheap plastic bottles they seems to hold up just fine, I would say the polymer on your firearm that can withstand gun cleaners will be safe.

Are you using the old style CF issue repellant that melts plastic and makes your lips go numb?

Oooo that stuff burned good, I would absolutely shower my self with it. Loved that it was pure liquid. I guess our plastic A2 stocks always held up?

Acetone. "I can't let go of the Lannie steering wheel!".

Anyhoo, test on a less visible part, it will obviously depend on what solvents are in the bug repellant.

Of course this thread turned into a nostalgia moment of numbed lips and melted plastic. Don't forget that lingering concern at the back of your mind. "Is this stuff actually safe?" Quickly overriden by the pure hatred of the buzzing blood sucking menace.
