I lube my boolits in a cool basement (around 65 degrees) and I have found that I need a little heat to get the new to me Star lubersizer to lube well when using BAC lube. I set my Midway heater to about body temp. and all is well. Is anyone else using heat to get BAC to flow?

I don't use BAC but every now and then in the winter the Star needs a 40W bulb next to it. Just a bit of warmth to keep things flowing.

I'm in with Rick. I use FWFL in my garage and from fall to spring I use a flood lamp bulb for ten minutes before I start. Then, I use the light as needed to keep things rolling along smoothly.

mtgrs737,

I use BAC lube with a star and have found that a little heat helps a lot! I use a hair dryer pointed at the die for about 2 or 3 minutes.
