Ben's red in the long run

[alamogunr]

Where do you buy Lucas Red & Tacky # 2. I went to their website and did a search for dealers in my area. Got nothing regardless how big an area I indicated. I would have thought something would come up if I searched Memphis, TN.

I went to Amazon but I also found it @ Napa Auto Part Store. I was ordering placing a order at Amazon anyway so just got it there.

You are very welcome. I'm so glad that Ben's Red is working well for you.

I hope you'll continue to enjoy your lube,

I had good results with a tube of Lithium grease I had lying around for 20 years and basically the same with the other stuff in Bens Red of course it isn't red but works. I also had a tube of Molly grease that had been around for 20 years (got them from my dad shop when he passed in '87) still have 10 tubes of grease he was a gather keep everything.

I find the Lucas Red & Tacky at most all Home Depots.

This Ben's Red is some fine stuff. No need for moly in my opinion now.............

Hi Ben
Is the Minwax Paste Finishing Wax,the same as JPW?
Here in Australia,we can't get any of them??
Is there another alternative ?
TIA

[no34570]

May have just found some Minwax Paste Finishing Wax,can I use that?

[no34570]

Amazon.com won't ship to my address for the JPW,will have to buy it off fleabay,at extra cost,bugger!

[Ben]

I have my doubts that you'd see any real difference in the lube's performance with the substitution of the Min Wax product.

Hi Ben
Well mate,I can get the JPW and the Minwax one here,both on fleabay,the minwax,I can get from a store in Melbourne(465kms away),waiting to hear if they would post it up to me,so could be in business.
Thanks

[Ben]

Go for the Minwax, make the lube and report back. I'd like to know how things work out for you.

No worries mate,will wait to get the reply from the company that has it(Minwax) and go from there.
Thanks

try not to get the minwax with the pigment in it.
it works well enough but is a bit gritty when melted.
i make my 45/45/10 tumble lube with jpw and trewax [tried minwax too] mixed 50-50
and like the color better [easier for me to see]
i found a couple of cans of it at the discount store for 99 cents a can and had to try it.

I think the one I am trying to get,is just regular,no pigment.

99c bugger me dead,I'm getting it for $11.15 per can
