Ive gone to get all the ingredients to make the New TL that had Johnsons Liquid wax, Found its no longer made, Then went to try the substitute, Lundmark liquid paste wax... And found no one here stocks it... Mind you, Im going to have to drive 3 hours just to get some Lee Alox..
So are there any other Floor waxes? I can get Lundmark All wax, Lundmark Super Gloss, Lundmark Matchless 20 litre. And can anyone tell me where i can buy a 20 litre/5 gallon bucket of Lubrizol Alox 350?
you can get quarts from LS's stuff by scrolling down to the link.
the shipping would probably be a killer though.
I'd check the under body spray shops or the car rust proofer shops they spray alox.
5 gallons is like 47 lifetimes worth BTW.
It looks like the Link isn't in the post.
LS Stuff makes and sells lubes, small outfit but good products by all accounts.
This page has the Alox which they call X-Lox to avoid getting into a legal tussle with Lee AND more importantly pre-mixed 45/45/10 which is pretty close to the Johnsons liquid wax formula, just made with the paste wax. I doubt they are melting cans of the paste wax to make it but probably using something generic with the same composition and in bulk.

At less than $20 plus shipping for enough to lube bullets from now to doomsday it may well be a better option than buying the alox and mixing your own wax and alox concoction. But either way this is probably one of the better well known sources for this stuff.
Thanks to everyone that answered, But i live in Australia.... And posting those lubes here is a NO GO on both ends.. As for a 5 gallon bucket of Alox 350, i can legally import that without to much of a headache...
Where in Oz are you?
The 45/45/10 is available from CBE

I have bought a .310 boolit mould CBE, it's a great mould. I am thnking of trying some of the 45/45/10 next time I order something.
I thought CBE sold everything up and closed years ago...
I have heard that there is a "new" owner (the sale happened a while back, so not all that new). He has expanded into gaschecks, lubes, sizing dies and even cases. I have not bought from the new owner, but have not heard any bad comments from any who have. I do have a CBE mould for my Cadet from the original owner. I took a while to get that mould, but it was worth the wait. I don't think that there is anyone in the world that has a selection for the .310 Cadet, the .303 British or the 577/450 quite like CBE.
If you get the 45/45/10, let me know how the sale went. I have been meaning to get some of it for my .38spl wadcutter boolits. I have not been worried about dealing with the "new" owner, I have just been slack.
I remember the CBE changeover.
it was [in my mind] around 2009? or thereabouts.
I haven't heard anything negative, and they ain't really advertised.
but it used to not be too difficult to get a good mold delivered from them to here in a pretty reasonable amount of time.

Ive bitten the bullet.... The guy who owns White Label lubes is great to deal with... So i have a life time supply of lube now on its way....
10 lbs of Alox 350, 75 sticks for smokeless and 25 sticks for black powder...
David Commens, the new owner of CBE is a gentleman.
He helped a total
stranger- me- with odds and ends, advised me on casting, GC and alloys. Even threw in an extra stick of LBT blue when I ordered some stuff. His moulds are top stuff. I have 3 of them.
Cheers
please take this for what its worth. but this local guy who shoots nothing but hunting loads from his hunting guns uses any car wax ( with no grit stuff ) mixes it with alox and tumble lubes the semi paste.
his one gun is 2600 fps ( i think ) using lyman lead recipes.
it does look like hes shooting black powder sometimes... he jokes and said " plenty of lube on that one..."
