I don't use anything messy at the range. I dry all my patches for weeks & months beforehand. I even bring small needle-nose pliars for handling my lubed conicals at the range. When handling the ML so often at the range, the only thing it encounters by my fingers/handsis alittle wettness from swabbing with a mix of alcohol and/or plain Windex.

I just made-up some damp moosemilk patches yesterday. I'll let them sit in my Altoids tin for about 10 days before using. I used a 50-50 mix of alky & water for the liquid part. I'm expecting them to be basically dry when I shoot some roundballsthe weekend after next.

I was going to purchase a few of roundball's Hoppe's #9 BP Plussupply to try-out, but I have a store nearby that sells it for $4.29. This way, if I don't like it, I won't have any leftover investment laying around.

Now I have four patch lubes to try with Swiss FFF. I have bore-butter pillow-tickers, Permatex, moosemilk and Hoppes.
