I hope you tossed that turkey fry pot!!!!When I had first obtained my sks it was caked in cosmoline I pre soaked the smaller parts in simple green then used my turkey deep fryer to boil them in Water then a can of brake clean to finish it up
This. I use a large bubber made container.....fill with boiling water disassemble and put all metal parts in. Like you said cosmo floats to the top. Clean and oil all the metal parts.....then I use a hair dryer on the wood to melt the cosmoline and wipe it off with a rag.a teapot full of boiling water - pour over the big parts
a bucket of boiling water - drop the little parts in - the cosmo will float up & resolidify when the water cools down -you can recycle - good as new...
mineral spirits. Fill up a broiler pan sized container. Drop the parts in. Let sit a day. Remove and rinse off.
