Babybel Cheese Wax for lube.

KVO, thank you for sharing, that is interesting and impressive results.

Bazoo, always glad to share experiences both good and bad. If no one had started tinkering we'd be stuck with slingshots. Or jacketed bullets.

Thats exactly why I started this thread, so others could benefit from my experience. I couldnt find much on the use of the wax for lube.

You sure much eat a LOT of those little rounds of cheese! I bought a bag of it at Costco 6 months ago and over 1/2 is still in the fridge! Not my cup-o-cheeze.

Mine either, I like the sharp yellow cheese! Are mice color blind? Just wondering.

[Bazoo]

I like all sorts of cheese... monterey jack being my favorite, followed closely by mild cheddar.

I found out that dairy products are verboten since my last cancer surgery....... and I love cheese. And milk. And ice cream. And cottage cheese and peaches. And..... well you get the picture....

[Bazoo]

Tom, I am truly sorry for you. I love dairy products of all varieties.

I'll still get a cheeseburger at Red Robin's every now and again. Like the 3rd of April I get a free one for my birthday. I'll eat it and face the consequences all night tomorrow.......

I have used the babybel wax for fluxing too. Since I now use randyrat's beeswax, my casting area smells like honey instead of toasted cheese sandwiches.

Both would be great!

My casting area smells like flowers and mountain rain, as I use pieces of old candles and wax cubes for fluxing. The wife keeps me in good supply of both.

Here is what Babybel has to say about their wax coating: What is Mini Babybel®’s wax made of?
The wax we use to coat our products is made of a blend of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes and colouring, which specifically contains no Bisphenol A. It’s “food safe” and meets very strict regulatory standards.
It poses no health risk if accidentally ingested.

My wife buys those net bags of Babybel cheese, and with two kids in the house, they get devoured pretty fast. I have the family keep the wax and I use it for fluxing. Each one makes a nice marble-sized ball that's perfect for a big pot of lead.

Thanks for the addition roundnoser.
