Has Anyone Used SliP 2000 EWL on New Sprue Plates, etc.?

[daddyseal]

I know folks here have kindly told me of Zip Lube and other things to use on my new mold sprue plates, and bolts. BUT, I am totally Out of money for a month....and very anxious to start casting!

I happen to have a tube of the high temp. lube called SliP 2000 EWL (Extreme Weapons Lubricant)

Will this stuff work?

Doesn't say what the high temp limit is. That's the only potential problem that I can see.

I haven't used it myself, maybe others have. Try it and tell us how it works, that's how most of the "tricks" we share and use come about in the first place.

Any lube has to be used very sparingly so it does not migrate to the cavities. Easier to add more than clean out too much lube.

As hot as a full auto machine gun.

I have used it inside my pistols...it does not migrate, and is advertised as not migrating.

Good question. It is synthetic and highly recommended for AR's and M16's at armorer school last year. Good stuff and a little goes a long way.
I bought a 4 ounce bottle for personal use and more for our firearms division at work. I dispense it in small little needle dropper bottles since it doesn't take much.

I'll have to try it in the next casting session.

That is much less than a mold can get. Lube the plate after you have boolits in the holes. At worst you will have to lube often or it will allow lead to stick requiring cleaning. Check it frequently to make sure that you are not getting close to scratching the top of the mold.
