    Weeping
    99 times out of 100, a bolt gun barreled action is going to weep, due to the grease used when installing the barrel.

    There are certain projects (looking at you Remington 700 Barreled Action) that do not want to completely degrease, regardless of the degreaser you use.

    Weeping is when you get oils and grease that leach out of an area where two metal parts are joined together. When those parts heat up, the oil and grease liquify and ooze out. Simply soaking them will likely not degrease them enough.

    These projects are where acetone is your go-to product. Put the part into the oven at 300° for one hour to heat it up to draw out the oils. Remove the item from the oven and move it to a rack away from any heat source. Use your squeeze bottle of acetone to hit the area where you have weeping. Place the item back into the oven and repeat this process until the weeping stops. This can take a while.

    There comes a time when you look at your part and you wonder if it is still weeping or simply discolored from the oil that has continued to be a pain in the arse. To figure this out, simply sand the part, stick it back in the oven for a minimum of 30 minutes and see what happens. If the oil is still weeping, you'll end up with fresh discoloration. If nothing changes, you're finally done! I cannot stress this enough...as frustrating as it can be to have a part hold up a project, you have to get all of that grease out or the Cerakote will not adhere properly.
