Flints & Humidity? (more frustration)

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

Sometimes when I get little spark after 2 or 3 shots, I find that BP residue has built up on the flint and frizzen and is acting like a lubricant. I wipe off the flint and frizzen with a damp cloth I keep on the bench in a ziplock bag followed by a dry cloth. It works for me. Hope this helps.
