I just found the address, and also a price list posted by a member. Whether Dan still wishes to do business is another issue. Worth a stamp to find out.

Today I made a batch of Speed Green fron Dan's instructions and then used this to make Lotak per the instructions in this quoted post. It is the exact color of Speed Green, smells more like Carnuba and is a little firmer than Speed Green. Does this sound like Lotak to anyone that has bought & used it?
Now to empty one of the Stars, put in the maybe Lotak and lube some bullets. I figure at the worst I'll have a shiny bore from the Carnuba, the Speed Green works well so nothing to loose.

Big Bore = 45+
Husquvarna XP 2-Stroke SYNTHETIC low ash 2-stroke. Even the same color as bullplate and works just as well......for me anyway.
.............on the other hand I bought five bottles of Bullplate when I had the chance so still have some of that too..

Dan will probly show up again (I hope). Dr. B was on the phone with Dan's wife recently, and they may be taking orders over the phone. Again, I hope.
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).
Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.
We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
I need to go to the auto parts store for my Chevy, any suggestions for a sprue plate lube?

To JA15 Nope! but I'm a user. Thanks. GD
Just a note:
Found some MSDS sheets.
Husqvarna 50wt Bar and Chain Oil
flash point 475 degrees firepoint 505 degrees
Silicone Oil, High Temperature
Catalog Numbers: AC174660000, AC174661000, AC174665000
Company Identification:
Acros Organics N.V.
flash point 599 degrees
Couldn't find Husqvarna 2cycle synthetic MSDS.
Amsoil Full Synthetic 2 cycle oils are mostly around 200 degrees. Their other full synthetic oils are around 500 degrees as well.
Other Full Synthetic 2 cycle oils are around 200 degrees ie. Castrol & others. Can't assume just because it's full synthetic 2 cycle oil it is also high temp.

I have a secret..........I have a sprue plate lube that I have had under wraps for some time now. Out of respect for Dan and Bull Shop I never sold it. BUT Dan ain't here right now and I am. Keep your eyes open for it in the "VENDOR SECTION" Sorry if I hiJacked this thread but I couldn't hold back anymore.
I'm not too sure it matters, I bought two different brand names and both are identical in color, feel etc with the Bull Plate. I have no way of knowing if this is what Bull Plate is but so far I can't tell any difference in use. All I did was make sure the bottle said Synthetic so as not to put a petroleum oil on the mold that could burn and leave an ash. I bought the little single use bottles that are measured for 1 gallon of gas.
I hope these threads on Bull Plate don't ruin it for Dan should he return. On the other hand if he doesn't this stuff appears to work.

Rick,
Here's the way I look at it but I'm a capitalist pig. All along I've been saying that Bullplate is the best sprue plate lube I've tried, unfortunately I can't get hold of anyone at Bullshop to fill my order and his website has been down for sometime. I've got to assume if the Bullplate business was that important to Dan, he would have left someone in charge or at least indicated via a webpage when shipping will continue. If he had made an attempt (I dunno, perhaps he did and I missed it) to alert his customers regarding an interruption in service, I never would have inquired about an alternative lube. The price of hosting a website through a reputable hosting company is between 5 and 10 bucks a month these days so that's not an excuse for leaving his customers in the dark. I apologize if he made an announcement regarding his absence here, but I doubt there'd be all this clambering if that was the case.
Anyway, the Stihl HP Ultra is orange colored and runny and is nowhere as good as Bullplate... there, I said it again.
If you don't want to post what you use here, I can appreciate that but a PM would be nice.

It's been asked at least twice and no response so, once again, what happened to Bullplate and/or the purveyor thereof?
