      Camo Form® Tips

      NEVER wrap around trigger or safety. Start at the Ends of the Gun and Work Towards the Middle: For best adhesion, start applying Camo Form at the tip of the gun's barrel and at the bottom of the stock (fig 4) Cut wrap when you reach the hinge or trigger. Make sure gun is not loaded.

      Wrapping your gun with Camo Form helps prevent dangerous malfunctions caused by freezing condensation inside the chamber. This will also help keep other moving parts working normally.

    Stove Tip

    If your butane stove is struggling in cold weather, set it in a pot lid and add 3/4” (15mm) of cool water. The stove will roar to full power (the fuel is now at least 32˚ F, 0˚ C). Do not use hot water in the lid.
