    Discovered a new way to "evecuate" a Star sizer

    Had a hillarious "moment" this morning in the shop. I work 2nd shift ao Im usually out there in the mornings knocking around doing things. I had just finished up sizing a bunch of 9mm and was changing out size dies, adding lube, cleaning up, and doing about 5 other things at once.

    I have air feed on the Star and had the cylinder off and had poured some melted Lars red into the resivoir. Did a few other things and screwed the air cylinder back on.

    Then the moment of truth, not thinking I plugged the air hose into the cylinder. Since I had not installed a size die or anything else a sizer full of still liquid lube was flushed out in a matter of 2 seconds

    Yep as you can imagine there are little red dots of lube everywhere, most just oozed out but the part still liquid covered about a 3 foot radius with little red specs.

    I cussed for a second then started laughing Turned everything off and went in the house, Ill clean everything tomorrow.

    Any good tips on removing lube???
