I just bought another 13150 and the G-10 inlay had a sticker attached to it and I used blue lube to get off the glue. With that said , it left it looking hazie colored filmish looking over it.
Does anyone know what I can use to bring back the natural black color on it ??
Thanks dj

Try a light coat of cooking oil, that should help.


You just have a thing about multiples, huh?

Thanks for the tip ...... dj

dj, I'm curious to know if RxEnergy's tip worked??? Thanks.

cooking oil can go rancid and really smell bad, depending on what it is, that ever a factor? I would think mineral oil might be better, but I have no experience with oiling g-10.

I haven't tried it myself, but saw this method advised many times on different forums as a way to revive G-10 once colors start to fade.

Gun oil, tri-flow, WD-40 - all these will work. I tend to use a petroleum product.

I'd say take some aerosol parts cleaner to it first then oil it to minimize skin and body oils being sealed inside the tiny crevices.

5w30 motor oil!

I really would stay away from oils that could go rancid (food prep oils)
