LAPoliceGear.com has 5ml FrogLube squeeze Packs on "closeout" for $1.00 each.
I ordered 10 of them and shipping added another $7.42.
I didn't compare prices so I don't know if this is a good deal or not. They listed regular price at $2.00 each.
I have been hopping to try it, and thought some of you might jump at the chance as well. ::)
Of course, 2/3s of pun is p.u.

Good thought, Griff, but that is $17.42 for 50 ml, and 118 ml or 4 oz. can be bought locally for $16.79. I have bought from LAPoliceGear before with satisfaction, but I think this is a bit of clever pricing lowballing off a high price manipulation. In fact, I checked my stock and found a price label of $9.95 on a 4 oz jar of FrogLube paste. Maybe prices have increased since they have been discovered.

I think Tracker has nailed it. I'm glad I bought the product in bulk.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the super-lube, and will report as to it's quality of function. I haven't found any at the gun shops I frequent, and figured <$20 wasn't a big buying decision.
Thank's Tracker for the astute cost analysis. If after having tried it, it seems like the cats meow, (or should I say frog's ribbit, toad's stool?) I'll try to find the bigger volume container for the bench, and use these for the range bag.
I'll just pretend that I drove all over town trying to find some and used up a few gallons of gas. That way I can rationalize the cost, and feel good about how much money I saved from not getting all of the other stuff I would have bought that I didn't know I needed. Gun shops are dangerous after all, you go in for $4.00 worth of lube, and leave with a shiny new toy.
Ah, that's better. :D

After I posted above, I went to the FrogLube website and saw that they sell the 4 .oz tub of paste for $12.00 and the 4 oz. liquid for $19.00.
-
Brownells is slightly less expensive at $10.49 for the paste and $16.79 for the liquid in 4 oz.. You're right: none of these prices will be a major setback at the quantity we use them.
-
Which is best to get liquid, paste, both or either?
-
Either one is fine but having both I have a tendency to use the liquid for no particular reason.

Hi Tracker
Thanks for reply, I noticed you were here on line

I first thought it was only available locally (but really far away) looked several places(no luck), was going to wait until I was in area of the place that net says carries it.

Bob,
There is a demo/comparo of FP 10 on CheaperThan Dirt. I think the link below should get to it.
I have some of it, and used it last night on some rifles and shotguns. I really couldn't say anything pro or con.
After seeing your post, I watched the video (hopefully) linked below, and it looks impressive.

Thanks for info -- Looks good -- when I picked it up I think name brand in similar package did not list synthetic -- so I picked fp 10
PS this link inspired me to get sound on youtube going again(researched then clicked on speaker and turned up - ugh -)
Froglube may be here soon!

The Froglube arrived! ( Wed- maybe before ) was ordered Sun 7-7

Bob,
I have been using a hairdryer to heat up the gun parts before applying the frog lube paste with either a small paintbrush or a q-tip. After disassembling the weapon, just lay all the parts, except the grips, out on a towel and pont the hair dryer at them for a minute or so and then dip the applicator and spread like butter on hot corn-on-the-cob. It melts and spreads like butter. I let it all cool a little, and then wipe off the excess. It even seems to shine up the outside of the slide nicely. The best part may be the smell, and not having my hands soaked in nasty chemicals. There are also some application demos around on the infonet.
I haven't tried eating it yet, but it might be a good tooth polish.YMMV ;)

I omit the brush for application of FrogLube and just use my hands. I'm now thinking of trying it as an after shave lotion. ;)

USDA Certified bio-based product yummm!
Thanks again for info and encouragement.
