I have tons of Liquid Lee Alox. I don't like it as a lube. What else can I do with this stuff. I won't throw anything away. Maybe someone wants to trade?

Come and take them, Boolits first.

It's originally made as a rust preventative coating for steel. Rated for severe outdoor exposure. Works on bolt threads to prevent rust locking, too. I like it and use it a lot as a boolit lube, but I have a whole gallon of the bulk Alox 606-55. It'll keep my bullets lubed for a while.

Use it for camping to keep Bear away, they hate he stuff. Just dip some q-tips or sticks in it and throw them around camp. I'd bet it would keep rabbits and deer out of the garden also. Use too much and you could draw in boolit casters so use at your own risk.
First time i used it, i woke in the morning to a bunch of guys waiting for me to build a fire and cook some coffee.
Smart caster's mix it with solvent and spray the inside of truck doors and tailgates!
As I was lubing up a batch of CB's this evening I was wondering the same thing. What else this stuff could be used for? I tumble my boolits and then stand them up on wax paper. After standing up 500+ boolits my fingers have a nice thick coating of this stuff on them. I can barely wash it off and so far Dawn detergent is the only thing in the kitchen we have that will cut it. I didn't want my hand smelling like solvent so I just kept scrubbing with the Dawn. Tough stuff!
Isn't it the same stuff as cosmoline?

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
I know they are both brown and nasty, and hard to clean off something....but I've been using the LLA for some years now..

If you don't want it, send it to me. It's all I use.

Hemorrhoid suppositories? Easy for you to explain stains to the little woman!
I hope that someone can come up with a good use for it. I have several bottles of it laying around and I don't use it anymore as a lube. I may try mixing some of it in with other lubes, but that will be about it.

Tyrants use the force of the people to chain and subjugate-that is, enyoke the people. They then plough with them as men do with oxen yoked. Thus the spirit of liberty and innovation is reduced by bayonets, and principles are struck dumb by cannon shot: Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma

I use it to help 'waterproof' my rifles. Anywhere there are stock end grain like under butt plate, inside stock, also under scope mounts, peep sights...anywhere water can migrate.
It's also a good earwax replacement...

If anyone feels so inclined as to give some of this extra LLA away, I have the perfect place to ship it to. Just let me know and I will give you the address!
I have no concrete evidence but I believe that is the same corrosion preventitive that we sprayed into wheel wells and wing butts on the aircraft when we were at sea. It smells the same, feels the same and is similarily tacky. In the NANavy it was called Peracatone. (Perakatone?) Super effective as a corrosion preventative. We used spray guns with "Stoddard Solvent" to remove it and it wasn't easy then. Neil
When I get done cleaning a firearm I then send a patch coated with liquid alox through the bore. It prevents rusting and at the next outing the first boolit goes through a prelubed bore...Ray
