Why pay almost twice as much for this over the original product. Is the heavier lube really worth it? It seems the heavier lube would gunk up faster.

Yeah, there's a bit of truth in that. It does gunk up a bit more/faster. However, it also stays in place better. It depends on what your application(s) are for it, but the hotter or more friction-y the area, the more good the thicker stuff will do for you. The EWL30 is too gunky for an AR bolt carrier group. But I like a couple of small drops of it on Glock slide rails. When I first got it I was using it for everything, but I gradually scaled it back. Nowadays I mostly use it on other things, such as knives, door hinges, various home projects, etc. I've moved back to lighter lubricating products on my guns. Except that, as noted, I do like the EWL on pistol slides. I also use it on my M1 Garand, where it's actually very useful. So overall, I don't think there's a 100 % clear answer to your question, but you could probably do without it if you have other, lighter duty lubricants that work for you. I use Fireclean for about 90 % of my gun cleaning needs now. Anyway, hope that helps, good luck with whichever product(s) you settle on.

It used to not be twice as much not sure why it is now i did not have a problem with it gunking up. The thicker stuff stays around a little better if you really heat up your firearm with high round counts or really hot weather. It's a good product however I moved on to frog lube and now seal 1 as i think they do a better job at clean up time.

The product is rated to operate at -59 degrees F,,which is a lower temperature then the average person would be operating their gun.

I am an avid shooter and this product works great on both my AR and my M1 Garand along with the rest of my guns I highly recommend it

It depends on what you're using it for. On some guns traditional oil will "fly" off and leak into other parts of the firearm. Something heavier, like Slip EWL-30 or grease or a semi-fluid liquid, will prevent that from happening. Overall you probably won't notice a difference if you never experienced the above and would simply waste money.I doubt it would gunk up faster. If it is gunking up it probably means you put too much on or you're not storing it properly or you don't have a very good cleaning schedule.

I like the heaviness of this as it stays where I put it rather than run all over. The trick is not to use gobs of it. A few dabs on the friction surfaces of my AR and my S&W; 9MP and spread it around for a thin lube layer and I can put 200 rounds through my AR or S&W; without a hitch. My one 4oz bottle has lasted for over 2 years. I would have gone through a lot more of a lighter weight product. My guns look brand new.

I have not noticed extra gunk build up and I dont clean my weapons a lot. It is expensive but I only use it for high wear areas such as bolt/reciever interface of my ar. The exterior gets standard slip 2000 or whatever is on hand at the time. I have only been using it for the past 8-9 months (aprox 1500 rounds rifle and 1000 rounds pistol) so take it for what its worth.

The EWL-30 is for places where you really want the lube to stay. If regular EWL is working fine for you, probably not worth the extra cost. YMMV. It doesn't appear to "gunk" up faster.

I have been using a container of oxygen bleach cleaner from another company for a few years now. That company no longer makes it, but it did not call for a neutralizer, just scrubbing and rinsing, and it has done a good job. I don't know if this stuff is the same, but it does seem pretty expensive. Sad to say, the large bottle of stuff I'm almost out of has no weight printed on it, but I think it was like four or five pounds for about 30 bucks. This seems high priced in comparison, but it was maybe 3 years ago I bought the other stuff. Most of the ones that I've used in the past (not on deck but on boat wood) that required a neutralizer were oxalic acid based.. Looking around Amazon, I see you can get 7.2 Pounds of Oxyclean for about the same price. Don't know if this is stronger or if it's the same..

None that I noticed, extremely good lube that stays in place as good or better than any other I've used. I rate it all around excellent.

Apparently the ink is lighter so I just increase the contrast a bit. Nothing can compare to original! but it is very good for a $30 vs $100 canon cartridge.

Sometimes there are just different prices website to website. I would just buy it where you can find it cheaper. I am pretty sure when I purchased this (years ago) I didn't spend $40 on a tub.

It's more of a lubricant. It has limited cleaning ability and is way too thick to clean effectively. I use Bore-tech Eliminator to clean and regular Slip 2000 lubricant to lube.

Much better Chris, much much better, I use it on all 7 points of lubrication on all of my M&P;'s and the bread is much better, and cleaner, and unlike traditional oil that runs off in almost no time at all, this lube stays in place even after shooting. I put well over 100 rounds through my M&P;'s she I take them to the range, and she I field strip them for cleaning, the grease is still there, and does not attract grit and grime from shooting, it's a purchase that I highly recommend, and I'm very selective with lubricants for my firearms, Slip 2000 is the way to go. Their synthetic oil is great for the points that you can't get the grease on. But again, go for it, you won't regret it.

You don't really need the lube, I hardly ever use it. But if you do want more, http://amzn.com/B00KGNAEGG.

I paid $39.00 dollars for the 32oz. At this price it must be the 16oz. And, yes - it's the gooey orange stuff. (love it - works great.)

yes its true ... i really liked my first jar ... the way it went on and the way it made my skin look ... this version seems to be heavier ... i liked the original better ... unless they own up to their mistake by the time this jar is empty because i am still going to use it ... i will look for another cream

ran across the following reply comment repeatedly copy/paste each time a youtube comment would ask or assert "sub'ing instamorph is cheaper version for doing same thing": "I am sharing a note from the TempTooth people - Our material is not the same as Instamorph. Our material is a dental grade material that has been independently tested by Intertek to be safe for oral use. There is a difference in quality and purity, so just be aware.﻿"

I purchased this thru the company named "Electric Test" and fulfilled by Amazon. It was free shipping, but I paid $13.95. I see that you would pay a total of $10.80. If it actually gives you an extra jar, I would say get it. Mine was overpriced. Eileen

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

You can buy the exact 32 oz. product (95830) with a hose end sprayer attached for $1.00 less than this one (95829). Crazy, huh? Both are supposed to cover 5,000 sf. I can't find any difference between the two. I used both today and will check the two labels tomorrow. If I find a difference in strength I will post it.

Clearly states on package that the XL is equivalent to up to 2.5 times the regular cartridge. I think it's worth the difference. I always buy XL when available. Shop often and you'll find you can catch a deal where 1 XL is cheaper than 2 regulars too! More details than that can be found on back of package. Look in Walmart or something and you can read it. Can't find image of back or side shot on here.

Barbara, I usually don't answer a question with a question but this time I will start out with one. How many years do you think you will have the Montana? This Lubricant is that good and goes a long, long way. I wouldn't suggest spraying it on directly but onto a rag and wiping it on giving the slide rubber a thin coating. Hope this answers your question.

I would suggest using real water based lube .... cleans up easier and will keep the product in great shape.
