Did you read that lube formula in PC090263.JPG?

[Hip's Ax]

"Make lubricant eight parts pure tallow and one part bees wax, not letting it get too hot to burn"

Beef tallow? Pork tallow? Mutton tallow? I know Old Zip Patch grease is mutton tallow and bees wax but man, 8:1 sounds "gooey".

That does sound pretty soft. I remember in the late 70's early 80's we used 2 parts rendered beef suet to one part canning paraffin for lubing our Civil War minié balls.

I remember getting quite a pile of beef suet from the local grocer and rendering it down in the oven while SWMBO was "out." Danged good thing I had it all finished by the time she got home!:roll:

We hand dipped, nose first, (with a needle nose plier) the miniés in liquid lube, and then set them out to cool. Very effective lube as I recall. I'll have to try it with beeswax sometime (after I get my own oven out in the shop[smilie=1: ).
