Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I apply some Eezox to steel case ammo to prevent it from rusting? I have some Hornady 7.62x39 V-Max steel case ammo that tends to rust more quickly than other 7.62x39 ammo because it does not have a polymer or lacquer coating. I live in a hot and humid environment so this speeds up the process. I would like to "treat" some of the ammo that I keep loaded in my AK mags so it does not rust. Is there a method you know of I can use? Should I seal the primer and bullet first and then spray the cases?

I look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

A: The use of EEZOX on live ammo is O.K. Because the solution is non-polar, it will NOT affect primers, and in fact is used as a primer lube by some loaders. My carry gun is a Walther PPK/S (and a bit finicky), I always wipe my ammo down with EEZOX before firing at the range in order to make sure I do not have any feeding problems. Many of our deputies do the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Q: I saw that EEZOX is safe on wood and rubber, but what are your recommendations for its use on or around ivory and mother of pearl?

Thanks,
Brian

A: Depends on the rubber, but best to keep it off. Mother of Pearl and Ivory should not be affected. But why bother? I have gotten it on almost everything and never had a problem. One must simply use a bit of discretion during application. I always remove grips when cleaning anyway.
