wait time for lube??

[roarindan]

I bought a 4 pk of sample boolit lube a while back. I'm down to the tube of what im guessing is some beeswax mix. lubed some 45 cal.'s and some 44 cal.'s. ive had them drying on the sizing table for 2 wks now and their still very tacky. I've has the table in front of the modine heater to get warm air over the boolits but they's still tacky as to where i'm concerned they will lose the lube in a storage can. how long will this have to go on??

Mine are still sticky when I put them together. After that I dont care how long they take to harden

Hard or soft lube, I think it works as long as most of it is still there.

Personally I use a soft sticky lube, and I store them in containers prelubed. If a small piece of lube is missing I don't worry about it.

Your "beeswax mix" lube is likely to never "dry." It will remain tacky/sticky.

Bulk storage of lubed bullets can bring with it certain disadvantages. It's often easier to store bulk bullets unlubed.
