caster wax - bruce moulds - 05-30-2013
has anyone tried caster wax in a lube?
i wondered if
1 part beeswax
1 part ozokerite
1 part caster wax
1 or 2 parts jojoba oil
possibly 1 part tallow
might make a good lube.
please offer opinions.
keep safe,
bruce moulds.

Never heard of it.

gary,
it is hydrogenated? castor oil.
it should have the long carbon chains of castor oil, without the tendancy to weep out of a lube like castor oil.
keep safe,
bruce.
