does it need heat even though it says it doesn't?
I think so. It puts more stress on my RCBS Lubrisizer than I'm willing to put it through. Maybe in the middle of the Summer it might be ok but if your loading room is cool enough to not be miserable it's a bit hard. I use a hair dryer for a few minutes then repeat whenever the lube starts to stiffen.
I use a lube heater plate with my Lyman - even the Moly Lube. I moved away from the Moly Lube to Rooster Red because the Black from the Moly Lube on my hands and everything else it touches; particularly when warm.
The tube of that crap that I had didn't need heat...it stains everything black that it touches, and you can't wash that moly off your hands or clothes for nuthin.
Fast Orange mechanics soap gets it off fast. It is messy though but you are supposed to get greasy and stinky when shooting cast. :)
I've been leaving my RCBS sizer in the sun for a half hour before use. I think a heat lamp would work as well....
Or a heat gun. Doesn't take long to warm up the lube-sizer with a heat gun, but don't over-do it!Quote:

I made a heater for those stiff lubes. A piece of aluminum plate 4" wide with a hols drilled just large enough for a 100 watt EBAY heat cartridge and a light dimmer. Works like a charm. BTY, don't turn the dimmer wide open unless you want to scoop up you lube from the floor!
Great idea, thank you....Quote:

Geo,
no worries. It's all good.
