What is the difference between Kroil Original Penetrant and Kroil Penetrant with Silicone (SiliKroil)?
Both products have similar penetrating properties, and can be used in multiple applications. The biggest difference between the two is the lasting lubricating effect of silicone in Kroil Penetrant with Silicone (SiliKroil). In addition to lubrication, silicone helps to displace moisture, which adds an extra element of protection.

Will Kroil penetrants damage the bluing on a hand gun or long gun?
