Thread: Stock "bleeding" oil

@Ditchjumper, great info you posted. Do you think a 44 gallon steel drum with the top cut off and set over a fire, would work with the stock hanging in the steam ?

I can't so no reason why that wouldn't work Moa, just as long as you can obtain a good rolling boil to create plenty of steam.

My first tank was made from a cut down 44 gallon drum which sat atop an old 5 burner gas BBQ I brought on TradeMe for $40.

The main thing is to practice on some old stocks to get the hang of it. I purchased a few beat up junk military stocks from Gunworks for next to nothing, and practiced on these till I got my method sort of perfected.

My apologies, the correct product name is Krud Kutter. I located some at Mitre 10 Mega


I had a mate who used another similar type product which was a a lot more caustic he purchased from his Stihl dealer called Varioclean. It worked a lot quicker, but I found it a little to harsh (health wise) to work with, mainly due to the fumes during the steaming process. If you use this stuff, make sure you wear a proper respirator and goggles.
