Why is there a booger in my Mil-tec?

I got a bottle of Militec-1 today for the first time. It has a booger in it. Not a crusty nugget booger, but the long stringy sticky kind. Is it supposed to be there like a worm in the bottom of a bottle of Tequilla? Do I shake this thing up and try to dissolve it or should I just eat it when I'm done?

Ya know. There seems to be some discrepency on how to use this stuff and I can understand why. While reading their website I repeatedly made the following exclamation, "You want me to do WHAT?" They want me to stick my gun under a black tarp in the sun? (See what happens when you eat the worm?)

So I did some searches here hoping that sober minds (yeah, as if) could help me.
Gollnick (www.balisongcollector.com) says he heats the knife up first with a hair dryer. I don't doubt his method - I just doubt that it's the only method, because I've read on here that some people heat the knife after the Militec instead. And, for heaven's sake, there must be a reasoned explanation on how to use this stuff on a gun.

I sincerely hope I'm posting this early enough on a Friday that you all haven't yet eaten the worm at the bottom of your collective bottles of tequilla.

Never seen such a thing. I think you should call 'em up and tell them to send you a new bottle. Something is wrong with that one.
 
You went to MY website looking for sober minds?

He obviously doesn't know me very well. :D
 
There's not supposed to be anything but Militec-1 in a bottle of Militec-1.

And as far as application techniques, it's just Militec-1 + steel + heat. As always with addition, it's commutative (e.g., doesn't matter what order you do that in). That's why the guy put his [unloaded] gun under a black tarp in the sun, as it was an efficient way to heat the entire gun. It was a good idea, too, because it will get hot, but only so hot, and he didn't have to use any energy other than the sun's to heat it.

As far as I know, Militec-1 will still bond to steel, heat just speeds that up.
 
Are you sure it was a booger? Could it have been a part of finger? You better let Ren know.

No. I came HERE looking for that, but as you can see... Go figure. ;)

A new bottle? I don't want to have that phone conversation. I just don't. :)

I'm going to shake it.

Wait right there.

I'm shaking it.



I'm still shaking it.


NOW it's a nugget booger.

Maybe they had some residue on the machinery that made it's way in there or maybe it's more like that film that forms on the top of chocolate pudding. (Great, I ordered Militec and got Militec Creme Brulé.)

Now that you mention it, that gun under the black tarp does have an ecological bent to it, doesn't it? ;)
 
I've received 3 bottles of that free Militec 1, and NONE of 'em had any boogers in it...It looks like I'll have to try for a 4th bottle, just in-case the new bottles DO come with a booger in 'em.:D.

But are you SURE that it wasn't a fingertip, rather than a booger?.:D.
 
I'll try to take a picture tonight since ya'all don't believe me. ;)

I should've taken it before I shook it up and turned the stringy booger into a nugget booger.
 
Nose picking and knife oiling never did go well together. :D


.....Sorry, I couldn't resist. :p

If you squint hard enough, does it look like someone famous, like Richard Nixon or Bella Abzug?
 
OK. Here's those UFO pictures:









I COULD sell it on Ebay...
You guys don't think it looks like JESUS by any chance do you?
 
I think it may be a militec baby. :eek:

It does look like one of those jars of formaldehyde with a fetus in it.

Maybe a new SPECIES evolved from Militec-1. I have found the building blocks of life!
