Case lube pad

[jjamna]

Has anyone had any luck cleaning up a case lube pad? Mine is getting pretty dirty. Checking to see if the are cleanable or just replace it.

I just use dawn and hot water to clean it

Back when I used to use a pad, when one got to dirty I would go down to the neighborhood office supply and get another cheap uninked stamp pad. Don't know if the even supply them any more. Ink pads are probably a thing of the past but it might not hurt to check.

I just use the blade of my pocket knife on the RCBS pad I have- blade perpendicular to the pad, scrape off the big pieces.

Dirty? Does it still work? Mine is over 40 years old, pretty dark gray, and still does a perfect job.
As long as it works 100%, I'm not touching it.

I scrape mine with those special offer john doe credit card samples that come in the mail or used up gift cards, then soap and water.

Hot water and dish liquid has worked for me in the past .

Throw the pad away and use your fingers.

I started with a pad and switched to putting a dab of lube or now lanolin on the fingers of my off hand. As I pick up a case I spin it a bit to lube it. Every fourth or fifth, I rub a finger over the case mouth.
I don't even know if I own a lube pad anymore.

Leads me to say I use OLD stamp pads, I found the newer kind that are a foam rubber, dissolve or break up when used with some lubes. I got several from my office supply source which were the cloth type and still use them.
