redline and amsoil are pretty similar in their make-up.
they are both napthenic a [solvent type base]
the atf is all the slippery the lube needs, the 2 stroke is there for a different reason.
if you wanna use the 2 stroke you have I would be more inclined to use just it and none of the other ingredients.
something like a 3 part wax and one part oil would be pretty close.
a little Vaseline could be used to modify the final hardness/malleability and add a little tackiness.
