Lubes cooked up

All ready for today's shooting, four lube recipes to try and compare:

09 Tallow:Olive Oil 1:6
14 Tallow:Beeswax:Paraffin 2:1:2 by weight - Gatofeo No.1 lube.
16 Tallow:Beeswax:Olive Oil 1:1:1 - TBA [NZ Pistol lube].
18 Beeswax:Lanolin:Neatsfoot Oil 2:1:3 - TBA.

As you can see below, they all look very similar:



Only lube recipe [09] is liquid, the other three have all hardened due to the presence of the beeswax. Recipes [14] and [16] have solidified but are very soft, and they are the ones I will try today. Recipe [18] with the higher beeswax content is much harder. I am not sure how I will use this recipe to lube the patches.
