Questions about TUF-CLOTH :

· How often do I need to use TUF-CLOTH?

When you first start using the product, use it every time you use or handle your equipment. This will ensure that you are getting complete coverage and that TUF-CLOTH's ingredients are able to get into the pores of the metal. Once your equipment has been thoroughly wiped with TUF-CLOTH the protection can last several weeks or longer. If your firearm or equipment is exposed to wear or extreme conditions you should use TUF-CLOTH more frequently.

· Will TUF-CLOTH remove rust on my equipment?

No, TUF-CLOTH is not a rust remover. You can use TUF-GLIDE on some synthetic steel wool to remove surface rust. If the metal has severe rust you will need to use a rust remover (we find that naval jelly works well). Please keep in mind that rust removers may also remove finishes from metal. Once you have removed the rust, use TUF-CLOTH to keep the rust from forming again.

· What if my TUF-CLOTH dries out?

No problem, you can use pure, odorless, mineral spirits (available at most hardware stores) to restore the cloth or use TUF-GLIDE. Simply open the ziplock on the bag and pour about a teaspoon of mineral spirits onto the cloth and re-seal the bag.  TUF-CLOTH is user adjustable; the wetter the cloth, the thicker the coating. You can allow the cloth to dry in order to apply a thinner coat. A dry TUF-CLOTH can be used as a polishing cloth. If you prefer using a wetter TUF-CLOTH, after the surface is dry you can buff off the excess with a clean dry cloth. 

· Do I need MARINE TUF-CLOTH ?

You should use it if your equipment is going to be exposed to salt-water or put into storage. This product was designed specifically for use by Navy SEALs and it provides a thicker film of protection for extreme conditions. 

· Can I use my TUF-CLOTH treated knife to cut food?

None of Sentry Solutions products are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved. TUF-CLOTH's protection bonds to metal surfaces. This bonding reduces the possibility of transferring material to food items that might be cut. If you plan to cut food with a TUF-CLOTH treated blade, we suggest that you wash the blade first.
