Probably don’t change much as they grew up into adults.Have you ever checked the ingredients of baby wipes.
There are solvents on the market for black powder. Nothing works better then water. A little soap or detergent MAY make water work better, but not needed. More of a chicken soup thing.New to muzzleloading. Always use Hoppes #9 cleaner for my rifles and handguns. Is this bad for cap and ball?
Water works fine for P but it’s imparitive you clean p very soon after shooting. The more humid your area the more important you clean.is that the same for regular BP and Pyrodex? or is the latter too dirty?
What is "sweet" canola oil? How does it differ from regular canola oil and where do you get it? I've never heard the term before. Thanks.When southern humidity pushes up here to Maine I find rust will start quickly. it seems to be easy to wipe of with a rag though it sometimes leaves a stain on the metal. This is on guns with no finish and I tend to view it as part of the aging process.
In the 18th century cleaning between shots was probably limited to a quick wipe and next charge in the bore. Might get cleaned same day or when time allowed.
Mine clean up nice same day and look ok to me with a patina and no hard rust. I use sweet Canola oil on all exterior metal and in the barrel. The lock interior gets light 3 in 1 oil that won't gum up.

Years ago A big discount chain went out of business. They had 2 big bottles of Hoppes Black powder solvent like 80% off. I bought them and they sat in my cabinet for ever.
I've always used hot water and some kind of soap to clean my black powder guns. Decided to give this stuff a try. It seems to work ok, no better or worse than what ive used before. I think almost anything wet will clean black powder residue. I started storing my guns muzzle down to keep oil from settling in the breach.
I thought canola oil is what you fry tators, crappie and hush puppies in...
Had rust when tried it many years ago.I've used regular Hopps #9 for years and it works well. Just takes a little more patches than on centerfire guns.
How big of bottle?How many babies does it take to get a bottle of baby oil ???
A baby bottle.How big of bottle?
How big of bottle?
A baby bottle.
So we need a big baby bottle for baby oil for a big baby.......It seems that would depend on how BIG the baby! lol
I swab the barrel at the range when I'm done and then bring it home and take it apart and go nuts. Occasionally I take it out and swab everything just to keep an eye on things. I swab the barrel between shots anyway. I consider it part of the shot.Nothing to worry about if you’re using real BP. If you’re using pyrodex your gun starts rusting as soon as you open the can.
