njones Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 How do you guys go about cleaning the inside of the injector?? Mine keep gumming up. I currently just spray it down with 70% rubbing Alcohol and run a rag threw it. Cleans it pretty well but after a few molds being shot it gums right back up. I’m currently using Do-It Molds and Jacobs Molds injectors. Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Vegetable oil works real well. Then coat it with worm oil and it should shoot smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I rarely have to clean mine. I dip the end of the plunger in veg. oil before I start shooting and run it back and forth in the injector. When I do clean them I use WD40 and paper towels.

mark poulson Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I spray PAM into my Bass Tackle injector between each load, and I've never had to clean it in 10+- years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judgie Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 WD40 works great, after shooting for the day I give it a spray work the plunger a couple times and I'm done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I made a cleaning rod from a 3/4 (I think) inch dowel rod. Took a drill and made a slot in one end ( think of a cleaning jag for a rifle) with multiple holes.smoothed my slot out with a file. I have a rag stuck in it. I never change it. When I change colors or quit shooting I take my nozzle off, have some worm oil in a spray bottle and shoot some in the tube. Take my cleaning rod and stick it in the tube, rotate it, run it back and forth. Get all the plastic that’s sticking to the wall of the injector out and I’m done. Silky smooth for my next session or next color. Shake your jag out over a trash can and it’s ready for the next cleaning.

Bassmaster Rick Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I use a bottle brush and then run a micro fiber towel thru it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanmc Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Spray some wd-40 in the tube, push a rag through it once or twice and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a rag after, just wipe off the plunger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
