Thread: Home made Case lube.

I was looking at a clip on YouTube about home made case lube from isopropyl alcohol and lanolin oil. Has anyone here tried it? From what I see it may be difficult finding the alcohol. Or. Is it easy to come by?

could mix it with meths

its easy to get from a industrial chemical supplier

A lot of dope growers use isopropyl on whatever is left over after they've got the smoke able stuff (trimmings leaves etc) to get the oil out. They soak all the surplus crap, then evaporate or cook off the isopropyl, and, assuming they haven't blown their kitchen up, they are left with cannabis oil (class b illegal drug basically)

I'm interested in this homemade case lube but there will be questions asked when you go to buy it. You'd only need a couple 100ml though right?

Cannabis oil won't make good case lube

It'll slow it down and it'll get lost for sure

I figure about 500ml should do the trick. That way it will work better in a spray bottle.

I am just waiting for my liquid lanolin to turn up. I cant find a NZ source.

The Dillon spray is dam good but I thought I would make some myself. Will mix at about 1:10 ratio.
I have tried the Serious shooters in house made stuff as well. Works well but need to give it a good shake before using.

What's wrong with this?

I drop 4 -500 cases on a towel (Use the same towel each time) in a single layer just as they fall.
Then I gave them 2-3 good spritzers with the case lube (Dillon or Serious Shooters version) and then give them a quick roll around on the towel then wait about 3 minutes before loading.
Works a treat.
I use a fluffy cotton hand towel which over time takes on some of the lube. Its easy to pick up the 4 corners and pour the cases into a container after putting the lube on.

That's a cream.
It needs to be the liquid.

You could also use the stuff in the tub which is available from repco and is pure lanolin.
Super cheap also has bulk packs of 4lt lanox available
