Thread: Cleaning of new Dies and Powder Press

Brake cleaner is good for cleaning dies.
Strip the dies down to the bare parts clean, wipe, lightly lube and reassemble.
Then set them up in your press

I never cleaned my powder measures however I did get a soft lead pencil and coloured in all the moving/sliding parts I could see and get too without disassembly.

The graphite in the pencil is an awesome dry lubricant and smooths up the action real nice.
A small squirt of fine graphite powder into the working parts from a locksmiths graphite applicator ($7 from any locksmith) will do the same.

Cheers
Pete
