Finally testing this shit out. Using only the Two solutions, no lance/pressure washer.
Two hours in, the level has dropped a good 1/2” and it looks like some of the carbon has turned into brownie mix. I’ll post what is dumped out tomorrow before I rinse and go to Part B.
Update 1: 24 hours after part A soak, I dumped and rinsed well, followed by blowing out with a compressor. A lot of carbon came out, but you can still see a bunch on the inner baffles, as well as some thicker caked layers in the blast chamber. I can see the value of the pressure washing lance. I did order a few steel brush pipe cleaners to help get into the baffles and dislodge. Update tomorrow with what part B does.
Update 2: I just ordered the full kit. Expensive as fuck, but it’s for science.
Update 3: just finished with the Part B cycle. 14 hours through and I was beginning to think this part was worthless. The solution color was dark, but had not gotten any darker. However, once I dumped it and started rinsing…. The amount of shit that flowed out surprised me. Thick chunks of carbon fell out. I rinsed for about 10 mins, then hit the blast and exit chambers with a plastic pick. It was effortless to remove any thick chunks remaining.
I will say, this Part A and Part B of the Decimator solution appears to be stronger than what Bore Tech C4 is. I had to go through what was 2-3 cycles of 24 hour soaks (with C4) to get this level of removal. After blowing out the can with my compressor I weighed the can. I got out .34oz of carbon. Not bad at all.
Lessons learned: plug the exit cap with the cork/plug, not the blast side where it threads on. I had a lot of leaking (during Part A) which I attribute to the plug not sealing enough in the threads. Also, highly recommend ( if you can remove the exit cap ) to wrap the threads in plumbing tape. I had zero leakage this way.
This was NOT a free product for review. I spent my own money on this. I also just bought the full kid with flushing lance that I will test on another suppressor when that arrives, as well as the one I did today to see if I can take out any more.
