Lube Die Removal

[fishnbob]

RCBS advises to "STORE LUBRICATED DIE IN BOX WHEN NOT IN USE". Do y'all do that? I am using Carnuba Red and whether I store it or not, that stuff will be harder than a wedding night d**K when I get to sizing & lubing again, even if it is tomorrow! How do y'all reheat the lube that is in the die that was left in the Luber and how 'bout the die if stored in the box? BTW, what size are those "O" rings on the Lube Plunger in the RCBS LAM? Thanks!

For what it's worth, I remove and save the lube from the outside of the die, maybe wipe it down with some Ed's Red, then store it.

If ambient dictates that the lube needs to be softened, I aim a clamp-on, goose-neck lamp with a 100-Watt bulb at the lubrisizer and cover it all with aluminum foil, to retain the heat and speed up the porcess.

Off hand, I don't know the O-ring size, but your local hardware store should sell them. I found two-packs in the plumbing department. Take the pressure washer with you.

I just heat my dies with a hot air gun. Hair dryer would work just fine.
