Got some neat images of Vintage boolit lube packaging? Or maybe your setup to cook and or Form tubes of lube? Or how about a lube star on your favorite firearm?

New contest format. New rules. See link for rules.

That is a good setup,I take it the washer is so you can push the set lube out?

The reason for the washer is to keep the hot liquid lube from getting into the lube block and giving the pvc tube a nice flat surface to sit on. I have found it much easier to remove entire tube including the center pin from the block as a unit and place in the freezer for 10 minutes, then just push the lube out using my finger and a smaller washer that will fit the inside diameter of the tube. I have been thinking of using two washers on the botton a large one and a smaller one then setting the pvc tube on top.
