For those who use a patch knife no pre cut patches. Do you use lube or spit.? If lube it seems like a big mess to lube then start the ball and then cut the patch. Are your straps of patch pre lubed at home? Silly ???I know
For the most part, I will use a water-soluble lube that I apply just before starting the patched ball. I have a small wide mouthed bottle of my 1 part water soluble oil and 7 parts of water. It is easy to place the patching material over the mouth of the lube bottle, invert it and wipe the excess lube of as I pull the patching away from the bottle. No mess. For woods walks, I will use spit to lubricate the patch. I have a small tin filled with a mix of 1 part bee's wax to 4 parts of olive oil to lubricate my hunting patches. I don't have any mess when loading.For those who use a patch knife no pre cut patches. Do you use lube or spit.? If lube it seems like a big mess to lube then start the ball and then cut the patch.
