    What is noe lube made of?

    Is it just 2cycle oil? or is it something worth only using.

    others have mentioned 2cycle oil, is that a good or bad idea? bees wax sure was a bad idea. **** was messy as ill get out.

    When I start a casting session and about half way through I'll touch it up. I only use a tiny bit on the head of a Q-tip and dab the hinge pin and very, very lightly on the top of the mold, staying 1/4" away from the boolit holes.

    They use Bullplate. But any full synthetic two stroke oil will do the same thing. No point paying more for a repackaged product.

    Personally, I think the Bullplate works much better than synthetic 2 stroke oil. You mileage may vary. Here's the link to it on Noe's site. One drop of it is usually sufficient for one lengthy casting session. A little goes a long way. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...89qi2vjl0b50a2

    I have been using a little bottle (maybe 2 oz. at most) from Bonanza for years. It started running low. So, I tried some Lucas "Upper Cylinder Lubricant and Injector Clearner. I had a 5.25 oz. bottle laying around shop. It does a fantastic job. I will be dead before that is all used up.

    Any reason not to just use Neverseize?

    You can just order it from Noe's website. I always add a bottle from them when I buy a mold and they sell it separately. Works like a champ!

    Try dielectric silicone grease. I have had good luck with it.

    Seems folks are talking about a couple different uses; bullet lube and mold lube. For my molds I use Bullplate (I know 2-cycle works too, but I'll support a member any time I can). I also make a bullet lube; 3-1 Beeswax to Bullplate.

    Synthetic 2cycle mould lube works, but will migrate into cavity and contaminate if too much is used. I use a very very small drop on hinge bolt area and neverseize on alignment pins.

    LBT mould lube (beeswax and graphite) work best, but is very messy if too much is used.

    I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil for over 60 years and have yet to stick a case with it.

    wmitty never seize would probabley work fine but would be messy,I have never used it but STP should be good, I would try cutting it with a mineral sprite or a light oil of some kind or it may be too thick.
    Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.
    I have been hoodwinked but not by"o"

    Just curious, how would you stick a case using MMO as a sprue plate lube? IMHO, that is what the OP is asking about, Sprue Plate lube.

    Do cases often stick to other peoples Molds?

    Some claim syn 2 cycle is the same , & will work ,but it migrates more & has to be renewed more often

    I have never used anything but Bullplate so can't compare it to anything else. What I can say though is that if I forget to put it on I have much more trouble. Then I realize what I forgot, lube up and everything is good.
