Personal Care Lubricant for Muzzleloaders-What do you think?

[Colonial Boy]

For many years in Australia there was a war between the butter makers and the margarine manufacturers, with heavy advertising and more about the dangers of butter, then the ban on commercial mixing of the two was lifted and various’’spreads’’ hit the market.
And a very good patch lubricant was born, and a versatile one at that, as you spread the bread for your sandwiches for the range it’s a simple matter to take a dollop or two of spread to add to the patch lube tin.
Just don’t get caught.

I heard P Diddy has plenty, maybe he will loan you some!

I know that there are as many patch lubes for muzzleloaders out there as there are members. Last night, I started thinking about if there was some form of water soluable patch lube that could be tried for use in muzzleloaders.
I thought that it might make cleanup between shots easier that fat or grease based lubes. The idea of using water-based personal lubes popped into my mind as an option.
I have not tried any product nor searched the forum for any previous posts. Thought that I would throw the idea out there to see what you all think.

Maybe you need to visit one of those erotic supply stores and see what they have to offer. 😄

That causes too must rust. And confusion.

Here's the Artificial Intelligence answer to the question. I've been having fun asking Google questions just to see what kind of wisdom it comes up with.

You can use a variety of personal lubricants for muzzleloader patches, including:

• Bear grease
  Frontier's Bear Grease is a popular choice for lubricating muzzleloader patches.
• Altoids tin
  You can use an Altoids tin, a heat gun, and your preferred muzzleloader lube to quickly lube a large number of patches.
  You should avoid using gun oil on a muzzleloader, as muzzleloaders don't have the sealed cartridges that protect the propellant powder from oil in other firearms.

When firing with round balls, you should use cotton or linen patches. You don't need patches when using shot or conical bullets.

Any of you ever try bear grease for a personal lubricant???? It reminds me of that old joke about what you have to do to become a real Alaskan.
