    Xlox 350

    Can I use Xlox 350 as is as a pan lube? Should I mix in some JPW?

    The Alox 350 is a light grease that is used in making 50-50 type lubes. The old Alox in 50-50 Beeswax-Alox was Alox 2138F. The 2138F is no longer made and 350 is the current replacement, but... it is thinner than the older 2138F. So to make a 50-50 type lube you need to put in more beeswax to get the same consistency out. I have gone as far as 2 parts Beeswax to 1 part Alox 350 and had good results. I measure mine out by weight.
