Thanks for the advice Fish4Bugs. At the initial setting the heat was too much with the TAC1 that I am using. Without the air pressure on it starting oozing out. After I let it cool a bit, I checked the air pressure and it took about 30lbs to get it flowing. Guess it will depend on if I can get the heat low enough to use the TAC1 or if I might need to switch to a harder lube like Carnuba Red.

30 to 40 psi is a good pressure to work with. Start the heater at it's lowest setting and go from there. Turn the dial with a screw driver about an 1/8th turn, wait for it to heat to that level, then try lubing again. Repeat that process until you find the combination that works. This would be easier if you had a way to measure the temp of the base of the star. Carnuba red worked well for me at 100 degrees and 40 psi. Your just going to have to find the temp that works with tac1.

Last night Iturned on the heater without any sizing die in to test out the temp setting. Originally received it was at the 11 o'clock position, and was too hot. Incrementally worked it back counter clockwise, and at about 7 o'clock now it doesn't appear to be flowing without any pressure. Not sure how much further back the dial setting can go.

Wonder if one of these would work in the extra hole for the bullet feeder attachment?

http://is.gd/mCqnfw Some have used a stick on thermometer applied to the front part of the star base. You have probably got your thermostat set for around 85 to 90 degrees. That will work more than likely. You will just have to try it and adjust one thing at a time until you find your pressure and temp that works. It's easier than it sounds and once set up, you will lube/size your bullets in no time.
