How do you guys go about cleaning the inside of the injector??
Mine keep gumming up.
I currently just spray it down with 70% rubbing Alcohol and run a rag threw it. Cleans it pretty well but after a few molds being shot it gums right back up.
I’m currently using Do-It Molds and Jacobs Molds injectors.

I spray Pam inside of mine and just push the plunger all the way out and wipe it off and then pull it back it will free up automatically
Great idea snakeRiver. I’ll give it a try.

Good info
alcohol will dry your o rings out, not good, i just put a drop or two of worm oil on my o rings and sometimes a drop in the tube and pull it back and forth a time or two to get it smooth, to clean it i just take it a part and run an old rag through it no cleaner should be necessary, i have a bass tackle injector
I do oil my oring and inside of injector with non scented worm as well after cleaning it. It’ll shoot smooth for a few goes then gum up.

Nature of the beast. Just oil it when you feel it start to tighten up the slightest bit when shooting & the orings will last a long time. Every now & then if you must just disassemble it & run a rag through it then reassemble & oil it like usual. I usually end up having to oil mine every 4 to 6 shots & have used it a bunch over the years i've had my basstackle injector & am still on original orings. I also have a twinjector that i got from Frank on tackleunderground & it's untelling how many times he shot it & it still works like new.Quote:

Gotcha, so i just got to clean it more often and probably need to oil it a little better.

I put a drop or to on my plunger just about every time I use it
I have just been spraying slab sauce in mine. (One quick spray) is all I do about once a month.

Good idea Mike
That’s really isn’t a bad idea.
