    Mixing Felix w/ WVA

    Am I able to add some felix lube to some WVA that I'm already using?
    Any potential issues?

    I meant WWVA.

    WWVA lube;4 oz. paraffin
    4 oz petroleum jelly
    2 oz. Lee Liquid Alox
    2 heaping tablespoons Johnsons Paste Wax [carnuba wax].
    (I also add beeswax, Crisco and canola, so it's really mongrel lube)

    All my pan lube pans are full of it, but I wanted to make felix for my next batch.
    Didn't know how they'd blend

    Felix lube is soft and sticky for the most part already.
    adding that to it will make it more so.
    I'd make the felix lube and try it as is before cutting it with that mix.

    Yup try the Felix solo ( it's good stuff !! )

    Beings as you're pan lubing they should mix ok but I'd mix one pan's worth and try it out before doing it all,r5r is right it'll end up being a fairly soft lube and it wouldn't be my choice for a hit summer lube ( better would be the FWWFL with a lil extra beeswax )
