    Perfect Friday post.

    Really torn on the poll, but have to go with Hoppes #9. I need to convert the lid to a spray top so I can use as cologne.

    No WoolWax listed? Fuck, I love how it smelled and lingered for about a month. FF smells okay, but WW is the winner for me.


    I work with a friend on turbine boats. He absolutely hates the smell of kerosene / diesel / Jet A, esp if we do a motor swap first thing in the morning. :rofl:

    I mixed some K1 into my diesel heater last night in prep for this weekends trip. Must have spilled a little bit somewhere on my jacket or boots cause I can still smell it this morning. Not even mad :D

    The smell of Fluid Film? Fuck no!

    It smells like a cat box 3 days past needing changed! Thank God it dissipates quickly.
