Just ordered a qt. of this from Larsen's Lube. Never used it before.
When using Larsen's liquid Alox, less gives better performance. It dries to a harder "shell" than if you put on too much. Too much is gummy in humidity and clogs up seating dies.
Do I use the same "Less is better" approach.

I'm a BLL user, but I would.
2 or 3 very thin coats so you can just start to make out a color change is what I aim for.
I use Lars 45-45-10 and BLL. In my shooting I see no difference in accuracy between the two. I like them both equally.
I believe in the less is more approah. For example, for 100 .357 cal bullets I use about 1/2 teaspoon.
I know the temptation of using too much, I have been there myself.
But once I started using less I started seeing more consistent groups and less buildup in my seating dies.

I thought the inventor was Backwater or Blackwater. Possibly even Junior 1942
It's a guy named Recluse!!
