All of us have special recipes for our DIY solvents and lubricants for muzzleloading firearms. As with all blackpowder enthusiasts who are bright, young, erudite, scholarly we are not without a sense of humor. Not taken to hubris or vanity, we can be quite jolly company.
If you are like me, your firearms can probably get a little attention at the range from the crowd that loads their rifles from the wrong end. So I like to have a little fun.
I've created a set of labels for the DIY concoctions used into my foray of frontloading amusement makers. For example;
I keep the Murphy's Oil Soap, Alcohol & Peroxide (MAP) solution in a brown bottle but didn't feel like writing MAP on the outside of the container. So I created an amusing label for this marvelous smelling solvent.
I also use alcohol to clean the frizzen, lock and pan during range sessions with my flintlock rifles and pistols. For the purposes of obscurity, I put a couple drops of yellow food coloring in the alcohol in a hot sauce bottle but affixed a new label.
Like most of you, I use a mixture of beeswax and vegetable oil for the cap & ball lubricant. I pour the molten mixture in the tins that are used to contain airgun pellets and affix a label to the lid.
With that in mind attached are labels for everyone to decorate their containers for their DIY concoctions.
