Does anyone have or know of a recipe for making "bore butter?" I am fortunately to have about 20 lb of beeswax if that is part of the recipe...

Ohio Ramrod:I myself use 20% beeswax and 80%lard. Some people like a fifty /fifty mix of beeswax and olive oil.I find to much beeswax leads to a "waxy fouling", not enough leaves a mix that is to messy in hot weather.As a side note I use far more of my mixture as a hand cream than a patch lube. It also is good for horses hoofs. :idunno: :idunno:
Bore Butter is a commercial product. It is reportedly just Chap Stick rebranded. But, if you mean a good lube made with beeswax, check the other responses. I have made semi-soft cakes of lube using beeswax and whale oil or peanut oil. Both seem OK. I don't measure proportions, just add until it feels right to me.Does anyone have or know of a recipe for making "bore butter?"
