RE: Trouble Finding Patch Lube
Liquid Lube - Moose Milk[/b]

[/b]
8 ounces of isopropyl alcohol
3 ounces of Castor Oil or NAPA Auto Parts#765-1526 Soluble Cutting and Grinding Oil
4 ounces of Witch Hazel
16 ounces of tap water
1 ounce of Murphy’s Oil Soap
these items are so inexpensive and easy to store and keep. I take a large plastic bottle either from juice or soda, mix those ingredents in the order listed and amounts, then shake it all up and it will turn a nice white in color.You now have a couple year supply of mix. And that's if you shoot a lot.
I then pour the mix into a bottle I can spray. A bug juice bottle works perfect (we get plenty empty ones of them in Wisconsin) and then you can just carry that small bottle and spritz the patch or if you like, soak the patch and dry them on a screen. They work fine for me in all weather conditions. In winter I shoot them dried with a light spritz to ease loading. In summer I often times just spritz them damp and shoot them that way.
