I haven't been able to do anything properly productive lately, but I did find an opportunity today to pull out the double boiler and melt down a bunch of cheese wax for lube.
Today, I went for the Mini Babybel wax. It's a bit softer and has a lower melting point than Carnuba Red, but holds up about as well as BAC or 2500+ ... but without the stench(!).
Screened, filtered, poured into quite a slab, and wrapped to keep the dust out...
The square (16") and bullets (.44 - 200 to 425 gr) weren't placed there on purpose, but they do serve to give the slab some scale.
(1 lb 11 oz)
I also melted down all of my Carnuba Red scraps and scrapings from pan or dip lubing, but I can't remember where I put the slab....
