Last night I cleaned my Ruger SR22 pistol with some Hoppe's #9. I had never used that product, I had a bottle of the liquid from someone having gifted it to me a long time ago, and I was out of my preferred cleaner.
The solvent worked fine, oiled the gun and put it back together. The problem is that the gun now smells strongly like the solvent. I also noticed that the smell would not get off of my hands even after using dish soap, then a degreaseser, then a shower, etc.
Is this normal? it seems like the polymer frame on the ruger absorved the smell more than the metal parts. I know it's not going to harm anything, but man, that smell is strong.
