Years ago I had a Navy Arms 36 cal. Navy. There was about 1/8" over the ball which I wiped in butch wax. Still a good idea if the butch was is still made?

Wasn't that stuff essentially Vaseline?

Yes but much thicker.
They probably thicked with wax.
Is that the same stuff I used back in the 60s to keep my flat top standing up?..

Known as Butchers wax. Made by Butchers wax Company.
Boston Polish is my favorite stock polish and wax. Bowling alley wax is as suggested for harder use.
Still available try Lowes or Amazon. Lots of carnauba wax in each.

It's incredible that I even remember that stuff, try as I might it never worked my hair was way too curly to get that stand-up look.

I used the heck out of that stuff when I had hair in flat top mode, wonder if that is one of the reasons I don't have hair now.
well at 70 I still have hair but I quit using "Butch Wax" because it didn't work for me......

Funny. I have used "butch-wax", on my flat-top in the late '50's, and currently own a large tin of Butcher's Wax. Though the viscosity of both is similar, I wouldn't suggest using them interchangeably (even on lead balls).

Aren’t we talking about the Butcher’s Wax the British Museum and other museums like to use on metal, wood, and leather?
