Lubing my own questions

[pepperbelly]

I precut and prelubed some patches with Bore Butter. I didn't have time to let them dry overnight. I just spread the BB on them, nuked them for a few seconds and placed them in a baggie. I then pressed them with my hand to soak them all.

What does not drying them do?

If I mix up some of Stumpys milk will it be as messy as the BB patches?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim I have used Stumpy's Moose snot before, and lathered it on rolled pillow ticking and throw them in a glass jar ... leaving out in the sun in the back of the car in the jar will saturate them quite well with little ill effect. :thumbsup:

You don't have to let them dry. I don't see how they could dry. Soak'em, squeeze'em, use'em. Pre-lubed moose milk patches will be wet. I make "dry lubed" patches with Stumpy's moose milk. I soak a strip of patch and lay it flat on a towel to air dry. I soak it again and lay to dry again. I am left with lightly lubed material that works great on the range. Stumpy's moose snot makes a paste lube and I smear that on patch strips, roll them up, and store in a tin. They also work great at the range and also work excellent pre-loaded in a ball block.

I haven't mixed any of Stumpy's solutions yet. I have lubed these with BB. I do need to mix some soon though.

Pepperbelly, if your goal is a patch-lube,that is less "messy' try the dry-patch method as per "Dutch Schultz" method.I cut mine at the muzzle, but they could be pre-cut. The mix I use is 6 to 1 and works well for me. Cold weather has little effect on them.
