Liquid Lube - Moose Milk[/b]
[/b]
[/b]
8 ounces of isopropyl alcohol
3 ounces of Castor Oil
4 ounces of Witch Hazel
16 ounces of tap water
1 ounce of Murphy’s Oil Soap

(make sure you mix the ingredients in the exact order they are listed)

I buy a yard of material of 100% cotton blue strip pillow tick at the local wal mart. I wash that in the washing machine. I then line dry the material. After that, you can tear the strip real easy off that bolt of material. I like to tear off an inch and a half. Then you soak that strip in moose milk. Ring the excess moose milk out. Then I lay that on an old window screen in the sun and let it dry. This is a dry patch . If you like a more wet patch, you can spritz them with a spritzer bottle.

I cut my patches at the muzzle. I like the dry patches in the winter time when hunting in the cold. When I am on the range, I often times will just spritz a patch and use it fresh. It does not seem to bother anything...

Just a different way of doing things is all....

Thanks for the info on Moose Milk. What is Witch Hazel and where might I purchase it? Also, our tap water has alot of iron and Calicuim in it. Would bottled or distilled water be a better choice than tap water?
