citri strip for wood. Leave it on overnight if you like and Navel jelly to strip barrels. Citri strip can be washed off with soap and water and a plastic scrubbing pad but when dry a final clean with paint thinner is a good idea While citri strip is active use stiff tooth brush in checkering. You can buy a 90 degree fine checkering tool at brownells to clean out remaining gunk from checkering once it drys. Rub barrels with steel wool or brass while jelly is still active. You may have to do barrels twice to clean. Then polish with Emory cloth.
