Well I am needing some help on the lube makin project. I got it from a sticky.
Since this is the first batch, I don't know what the consistency of this lube stick is supposed to feel like. I know how the NRA/Alox feels like, and this is not that.
I double boiler'd the 2 lbs of beeswax, then added about 1 and a half pounds of salt free Crisco, and then added almost a half cup of olive oil and stirred and stirred till all blended. See image.
Poured into molds let cool and they slipped out easily. They did feel slick and almost a greasy feeling, but nothing to much show on your hands. It seemed to be a little bit brittle when one broke, BUT......that was when I pushed it out of the pvc right after taking it out of the freezer. So maybe that is normal. See image.
What should the texture be on this lube.......(60/40/10) typo error. 50/40/10 corrected
