LOL, I still have 7 cans left the last time I checked unless the Wife has been taking some off the heat duct in the basement. Maybe I should put it on Flee-Bay for sale and buy a new Shiloh LOL.

I mixed up a batch several years ago to lube som healed bullets for 32 Colt Short and put aside .
I started playing with the 300 Blackout with the 230 Lee bullet. The lube I put aside is now very thick. What should I do to thin it. I'm assuming the solvent in the wax has evaporated. Has anyone had the same problem with long term storage?

Yes, just add a little solvent and use it. I store mine in a glass jar for years. hc18flyer
Yep, glass Ragu jar works great. I keep 1 original Lee Alox container with the spout for dispensing BLL onto bullets. Rest stays in the glass jar until it is needed.
And don't be afraid to add 1% of Carnuba wax by weight melted into the Alox. Does great things for your bores and leaves a nice non sticky hard shell.
Well l located my old mix and for what little was left I decided to start new.
Midway lists $8 for 4oz + $8 shipping +tax.
White Label $23.88 for 32oz shipped. I ordered from them.
I already have 2 cans of the wax from the first time around.
I'm going to have to live along time to use it all up.

I have to give a thumbs up to White Label!
I ordered a 32oz liquid alox on 8-10 and USPS tracking shows out for delivery this morning 8-12. Standard shipping!
