I mixed up a batch several years ago to lube som healed bullets for 32 Colt Short and put aside .
I started playing with the 300 Blackout with the 230 Lee bullet. The lube I put aside is now very thick. What should I do to thin it. I'm assuming the solvent in the wax has evaporated. Has anyone had the same problem with long term storage?

Yes, just add a little solvent and use it. I store mine in a glass jar for years. hc18flyer
Yep, glass Ragu jar works great. I keep 1 original Lee Alox container with the spout for dispensing BLL onto bullets. Rest stays in the glass jar until it is needed.
And don't be afraid to add 1% of Carnuba wax by weight melted into the Alox. Does great things for your bores and leaves a nice non sticky hard shell.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
Well l located my old mix and for what little was left I decided to start new.
Midway lists $8 for 4oz + $8 shipping +tax.
White Label $23.88 for 32oz shipped. I ordered from them.
I already have 2 cans of the wax from the first time around.
I'm going to have to live along time to use it all up.
