New lubes

Off to the range in a few hours to try out some new patch lube recipes:

[12] a thinner recipe than previously tried; Tallow:Olive Oil in a 1:2 ratio. The previous version had the ratio reversed and the patches were really too stiff to use after a week.

[9] using a Beeswax:Olive Oil mix in a 1:2 ratio. The beeswax thickens up the olive oil such that the mixture solidifies after cooling. Depending on results, I may loosens up this recipe by using a lower ratio of beeswax to olive oil, perhaps 1:5.

[6] a multimix recipe of Beeswax:Lanolin:Neatsfoot Oil in a 2:1:2 ratio. This is basically the above recipe [9] with the addition of Lanolin. Again this mixture solidifies after cooling and I may try a thinner version with more oil added.

We'll see how it goes!
