mold Lube

**G309** · 03-08-2009, 05:53 PM

Hi ,all I am working on casting some bullets using the lee 6 cavity and 2 cavity moulds.Can anyone confirm that it is ok to use Wonder Lube 1000 plus to lube the locating pins and sprue bushings?It says natural I am assuming it is beeswax.

Why not just use a bit of candle wax. Just touch it lightly & quickly to the plces that need it. That's what I do and have no problems.

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic grease on mine. Best find a grease that is stable at high temperatures otherwise it will turn into a gummy mess over time.

This is the second reference I've seen on Mobil 1 in a few days. How long have you been using it??

Bullplate.

Proven, stable and has a lot of years worth of boolit casters swearing by it.

No questions about Bullplate, its proven and does what it should and then some - boolit lube/speed green, bore conditioner etc.

Moulds were made for Bullplate.

Buy and use Bull Plate, it's the only lube for a mold. I use Mobil 1 on my base pins for CAS shooting and it is the lube for that as I shoot BP and it keeps my revolvers turning.

Another firm believer in Bullplate, get some!

Cheers,

Phil

Just started using Bullplate myself and the best thing I see from it is that it helps the Lee molds line up properly upon closing without having to use a gloved hand.

Good stuff!

The other plus on Bulplate lube is you are buying from one of us.

Has anyone mentioned Bullplate?

I had some Permatex in my toolbox so I tried it. Works great.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. It looks like I need to get some bullplate.As for today I have more than a lifetime of permatex high temp antisieze.I tried it today and seems to work fine.

We have also been using Permatex Never Seez Lubricant for 19 years now and it is the only lubricant that touches our precious moulds. It remains on the moulds for the entire casting run (1,500 cycles) and retains its properties throughout (resists heat up to 1800 degrees F).
