    Paper around Lyman moulds

    Does anyone have any idea what kind of paper the old Lyman moulds were wrapped in? I've purchased several older moulds and it always had similar paper. Some of it felt like wax paper, and some more like waxed tissue paper. I assume it was corrosion inhibiting. Any source for it?

    I always though it was a version of the VPI or VCI (can't remember the correct middle letter right now) paper that releases a vapor to inhibit corrosion. Brownell's used to sell it, and I am sure you can find it elsewhere maybe even for less money.
