I thought y'all might like to hear my adventure. I spent about a month getting stuff together to make some Recluse lube ie: 45/45/10. I bought a hotplate from Ace Hardware for 15 bucks. Sent away for some xlox. Found some JPW. I got out my old lee mold for 44 magnum that I bought in the late 70's. I casted up a pile of bullets. Then one afternoon when the sun was going down I figured I would cook up the JPW. I didn't have a pot I could use (big mistake) so I thought I would just cook it in the container it came in. I fired up the hot plate out on the grass. I sat and tended it for about fifteen minutes. I got it boiling a little and thought it would just cook off. I went over and sat down by the wife and about five minutes later a big flame started. I guess it must have boiled over and started on fire. It wasn't turned very high and I watched it for while before I sat down but it happened anyway. I had about a three foot high fire going on my new hot plate and I had two choices: throw water on it or get the extinguisher. I threw a bucket of water on it. It almost put it right out. But it tried to get going again so I watered it again. This time it went out. Hmmmm, all my JPW is all over the lawn. There is a layer of it still in the can. I poured out the water because the JPW was now a hard layer on top. Then I proceeded to melt the JPW down so I could measure how much was left. Then I added an equal part of xlox. Mixed it up and added 10 percent mineral spirits. The bullets are drying now. It looks like it will work pretty good. I ended up with about 9 ounces total of the Recluse lube. I think it cooked down enough but I won't know what it is supposed to be like until next time. Moral of the story: don't cook JPW in the container it came in. Next time I will get me a pot from the dollar store.
