Hey gang,
I'm seasoning my cast iron and had a bit of coconut oil left over. I decided to make good use of it and oil over my 28" Mossberg barrel.
What should I be on the lookout for with this baby in the future? Any concerns for using coconut oil instead of the prescribed gun oil?
inb4 >newfags don't know about my crossboard relations
gun oil? get bearing grease and get the fuck out
frog lube literally is scented coconut oil. It will work.
Check smoke point of coconut oil and compare it to smoke point of your hoppes oil and then see how hot your gun gets
I don't think a shotgun gets too hot
>I don't think a shotgun gets too hot
WRONG
>I'm seasoning my cast iron
Yeah, trolling Jow Forums with a normal pan in the background . Nice b8
After contemplating heat treating my barrel, I find that it won't fit diagonally even if I tried.
your kitchen is disgusting
Wasn’t there something about frog lube being coconut oil?
How about cleaning those cabinet drawers,
Only niggers live in filth
It does seem like a good idea to clean tonight.
>THRESE FUCKIN THREADS
Think the Filipinos used it as gun lube.
Are you an island nigger? I am just assuming at this point because nobody but an island nigger uses coconut oil on there guns. I know a filipino fellow and a Hawaiian that used coconut on everything
Clean your cabinets you filthy troglodyte
>using an oil with a high smoke point to season iron
Stop
2 things happen during the seasoning process
>Converting red oxide hematite eg. Rust into magnetite
>Breaking down the oil via high temp into a caustic acid which helps oxidize fat molecules that bond electrochemically to the metal to produce a superficial water resistant film only if done properly
Their is no definite time or temp but 485c with 2.4g of canola oil for 1hr is the most common standard
Niggas deepfrying cast iron. I dig it
>canola
>not a high smoke point oil
What are you smoking nigger? High smoke point oil is the go to for cast iron.
And OP, what made you go with coconut oil for your cast iron? I prefer flaxseed, mostly because I can also finish wood with it. Was it just a matter of convenience?
yes, it's going to absolutely stink as the coconut oil goes bad and rots over time. and coconut oil also stinks when heated/cooked, which it will do from the heat of firing your gun.
if you use coconut oil as a moisturizer you need to wash it off every day and scrub your skin. because excess oil leftover in your skin WILL go bad within a few days if you don't wash, and you will smell like industrial soap. it's not nice.
also in cold temperatures, coconut oil sets, and this can clog your guns mechanical parts.
next time use actual mechanical oils or gun oil. not fucking coconut oil.
would you use shea butter or butter? how about cheese?
fuck sake.
canola oil turns carcinogenic when heated to cooking temps. this is the main reason for high rates of lung cancer in chinese kitchen staff. canola/rapeseed oil is not meant to be cooked with.
use olive oil for cooking and seasoning a pan.
>tfw black
>tfw my house is cleaner that OPs
Shame on you OP. Shame.
Niggas are chain smokers, STFU blaming canola oil
Bullshit. I use coconut oil on some of the guns I rarely shoot, since it is natural and lasts a long time in the safe. I'll wipe them down once and year and reoil, have never smelled anything, doesn't even smell like coconut oil since the layer is thin.
Wait what? I've been using canola oil for cooking for my entire life, and my parents keep using it, too. Whenever I tried using olive oil, they just told me not to.
Canola oil is literally the last thing Chinese kitchen staff need to worry about. If they have clean oil they're already in the big leagues.
Well for one edible oils go rancid with time so expect your gun to stink real bad in a month or so
>If they have clean oil they're already in the big leagues.
Dang. Maybe I should start a chinese restaurant. I just need a chingchong significant other or friend or something.
>Doesn't know about gutter oil.
