That does sound like a good idea , I will have to try that next time. I already clean my barrel using Murphy's oil and Baking Soda. That method has worked for me for years. Cheaper than the hoppes stuff and quicker too.I found that when I make mine, if I keep stirring it while it cools/solidifies, it gets the consistency of the original. If I let it set in the jar to cool, it gets hard. Someone (don't remember who) told me that adding a small amount of Murphy's oil soap while mixing the wax and oil, it will get "foamy" and be more like the original when cool.

It's really pretty hard to mess up. But leave it me to do so. The other day I discovered all my lube plunger tubes were empty. So I melted a little bit in a metal bowl on the stove. Sucked it up into the plunger. Pulled too hard and the plunger handle came out, splashing hot liquid lube all over the place, including me. Fortunately, hot liquid lube isn't really hot enough to burn skin. But it sure is a b**** to clean up after every little splash has solidified.Today , I tried to make me some homemade "Bore Butter" . Using xtra Virgin Olive Oil and Pure Beeswax. Seems to have come out ok !!!
Well .... you never use it 100%.Not a beeswax fan either. Just to nasty to clean up.
