Lube recipe 13 might be OK

After three weeks waiting, I have just checked the state of lube recipe 13 [Tallow:Olive Oil - 1:4]. It has stayed as a thick liquid rather than setting hard as lube recipe 12 did [Tallow:Olive Oil - 1:2].

The next step is to lube up some fresh patches with this mix, I'll also relube the recipe 12 patches [waste not-want not]. As it looks like there should be no issues with seating the ball on the patch at the end of the barrel, the only other checks are how the barrel swabs between shots, and how easy it is to clean at the end of the day's shoot, using just hot water and a drop of liquid soap.

If all goes well I will not have to create other recipes with the Beeswax, Lanolin, Neat's Foot Oil, Olive Oil, Tallow, Ballistol etc that I still have!
