I use my pocket knife to cut my patches at the muzzle. In a frying pan I heat my lard just above the melting point being careful not to overheat the grease as I dont want to fry the patch material. I dip my strips of pillow ticking in the grease using pliars to hold the material because of the heat.
good idea,i just got done doing it in micro-wave with bore butter.
only thing i do, but your idea is to just use cap to hold the strip after i pull it out.
this way my strips stay wet and dont dry out with air getting into them but if you are going to shoot the strip the same day, your idea is better.
what i may do is cut one like yours, put the strip in it at range,after done then put it in a sealed one to keep it moist.
thanks for idea. THE SPROULMAN
