A few days ago I was asking about the best mold for pouring liquid bullet lube into that would release the solidified lube easily. Many Thanks to Jon K, he put me onto the idea of using Rubber Maid plastic containers. They are square bottom and have plenty of draft on them for release once the lube is solidified.
Jon K assured me that if I put the solidified lube into the freezer for a few minutes to harden it , that it would pop right out of the molds, he was RIGHT ! !
My lube is :
40% Lar's Carnuba Red 2500
40 % NRA Formula 50/50 Beeswax and Alox
10% High Pressure , Black Moly Grease
8 % Johnson's Paste Wax & Dextron II Trans. Fluid
2 % STP
Today was " Lube Melting / Pouring into Molds Day ".
On this 1st photo, look to the extreme right, you can see the lube in the containers sitting in a cool water bath to speed up cooling.
