I am mixing up some lube with the folowing formula and was wondering if it uses volume or weight?
8 oz. Beeswax
4 oz. Safflower Oil
2 oz. Hoppe's Elite Gun Oil

Thanks for any info.

Steve you should be able to use either weight or volume pick one and stay with it that way your ingredients should be at the same percentages.
I usually use volume myself.

Alloys are built by weight. 60/40 solder is 60%tin by weight. ETC.
