If you get the amount just perfect, to a half-percent or so, it will make the grease firm but not sticky after kneading. I'm not sure how it would do in a lube-sizer if you melted and poured it in, but I'm sure some heat would need to be applied to get it to flow again after it cooled in a still state. My lube notes contain over a hundred recipe ideas, over 70 of them have been tried, and if I remember right I'm up to around 30 that I've tested, so I admit the Vybar/grease thing got overlooked. My only real concern with it was whether or not the Vybar would build up a plastic film in the barrel, which is why I did end up shooting some of it in the .35, but I don't think it built up as far as I could tell. It did melt and jettison well when shot, I still have the paper from the point-blank tests somewhere.
