I understand that years ago this was the chosen material to seal the top wad when loading brass shells and it was quite common, sometimes called "egg keep" because people would dip eggs in it to form a air tight barrier around the shell and prolong the shelf life.
Evidently it isn't a common item any more. Did find a small bottle at the local drug store but they had a price of $18.00 on it so I thought they must have needed it far more than I did.
Somewhere along the line of not paying attention I think I read where there is a new use for the stuff dealing somehow with concrete. If it is being used in construction then surely it should not be such a precious and high priced item.
Anyone know anything about this ??
What are you using to seal the top wad with ?
I tried several model airplane glues with limited success. It just dosn't seem to get a good grip on the brass and the wad will sometimes pop loose in your pocket--- sure makes a mess and the shell is useless.
Any ideas ??
