if you are using a star sizer with air cylinder, this is what i do. i do not make my lube but i do remelt it to pour in longer sticks. i use 1" pvc pipe w/ a cap on the bottom. i have a 2x bord drilled to stick it in. i have maybe 10 in one board. they are baybe 7" long. i pour them full , let cool then put the pvc sticks in a zip lock bag, and put in the frezer over night. the next day i take them out remove the cap and the stick of lube slides out. i do use dard type lube. i buy ruster lab zambez 2x6 sticks. you could use magma also. this makes the lube a lot cheeper. with the air cylinder you can use a 6" stick instead if a 4" stick. i do not cover or plus the vent hole. this is what i do to save money and reload the sizer less often. hope it helps. i do use there heater base and bullet feeder also.
