Glenfilthie said:I got smart. I sent my wife down to the store to buy some pillow ticking which is supposed to be great for patching according to the books I read.
Unfortunately my .54 burns holes in them. The jeans I had are too thick too.
I would rather make my patches than buy them too. Just gotta find something local that works...

Well, if your patches are burning through I would say that lube concoctions is not working at all! Protecting the patch from burning is one of the most important functions of a patch lube. Alcohol is not exactly fire proof. Try Crisco or lard, it's cheap, simple and works if you are adverse to spit. Many people seem to like the Oxyoke wonder wads but I find them expensive and unnecessary. Why add another component to compensate for the failings of your over-complicated patch lube?
