Like wise. My small air compressor sure comes in handy. Fits right under my work bench. I also use the alcohol to help clean and dry. Works like a charm. I usually coat my bore and wile down with Barricade but before I shoot,I run a patch of 91% alcohol down the bore then I wrap a patch with alcohol around a 36 cal. brush and give that a couple turns in the patent breech to wipe out any oil left behind.I stopped using HOT water a while ago. Too much "Flash Riusting"! WATER is the key ingredient. Even if it's cold, it will clean the inside of the barrel. The advantage of hot water is it was supposed to help dry the bore faster. Well, I have an air compressor and alcohol for that. My water is usually Luke Warm.
