Alox help!

[gman]

So I was going to mix some Bens liquid lube today and coat some bullets. Now I have never used this Alox before so I was a little surprised when it would not pour out of its bottle. Just squeezed out a big glob. So do I need to add a little varsol to thin it so I can mix the wax? I may have missed reading something on this. Thanks!

I find Naphta works best!

I add odorless mineral spirits and shake like crazy! I made a new batch of Bens Liquid Lube on Sunday and had stored the Lee Liquid Alox bottles out in the cold so, I had to heat my bottles up in the microwave .

Thanks fellas!

a little heat and some mineral spirits will fix that.

Be sure to put your BLL into a tightly closed container bottle. I found a 1 quart plastic lab type bottle to put mine into. Hope it works. The mineral spirits and solvents in the liquid JPW flash off pretty quickly. That's why it takes so little time to dry on the bullets.

Just about 15-20 seconds in the microwave, then a bit of mineral sprits, and shake well.
