What is with Wipe-Out?

I did a rifle yesterday and two today and when I injected the foam into the muzzle, more came puking out onto my hand and the spray can than into the barrel. All over my hands and onto the floor. What a ghastly mess and waste.

What am I supposed to do? Go real slow with the push button a teeny bit at a time?:confused:
 
I quit using the Wipe Out Foam Out for just that reason. The thing is, a little bit goes a long way. I use the Wipe Out Liquid bore cleaner instead. One container cleans a lot more firearms and it comes in black powed as well as corrosive cleaning as well.

One trick I used was to give the bore a very short squirt then use a loose patch to get it all the way through the bore surfaces.

Make sure your muzzle is pointed down.
 
Takes a bit of practice to know how much to squirt. I usually put my finger in the chamber and squirt from the muzzle. A couple of quick bursts and you can feel it with your finger and stop.

YES. Use the straw, I usually wrap an old towel around the muzzle to catch any foam that escapes. A small squirt goes a long way, it's not like a WD-40 spray, but an expanding foam cleaner.
 
I use a foot-long chunk of clear plastic tubing. Forget the size, but it slides tightly over the "spout" on the Wipeout container. the other end I build up wraps of electrical tape a half inch back from the end, to a diameter that jams tightly in the rifle chamber. Push into the chamber with this while squirting. Pressure goes down the barrel, give a couple shots until you see it come out the muzzle...
 
Wipe Out foam also has a small red straw attached to the can. Take spent cartridge from your rifle and remove the primer. open up the flash-hole just enough to insert the straw. foam the barrel from the chamber end using the cartridge adapter !!
