making lube stick for my sizer. Help!

[tbrwlf]

I have 4lbs, each, of Lubrizol Alox 350, and Beeswax. I intend to mix it 50/50. My only problem is how to I make the sticks to put it in my sizer.

I have been pan lubing until now but want to cut down on the mess.

Does anyone have a good system for making sticks? I need something I can make that does not require I be a master millwright to build.

Any help would be appreciated.

How big do the sticks have to be? A hunk of plastic pipe might do for a mold.

any cast boolit Question you have will be answered at Cast Boolits Website. There is lots of knowledge there.

You can make a mold out of pipe and a dowl or just open the top of the sizer and pour it in after a few seconds in the microwave.

Simplicity is always the best. While your mixture is still fluid, fill your sizer with it! Don't any one tell me that won't work, because I have done it many times, and you can't get simpler than that.

Yep. Watch the Salvation Army type thrift stores for a coffee cup heater. Fire a small tin or other heat resistant container full of lube onto it when you start a project. When you are done lubing and sizing, top off the reservoir, it'll be ready for the next session.

Or use the cup warmer as a heater for the lube-sizer and melt the lube in the microwave as required...

You can cast a tube of lube, and cut out the center with a piece of pipe while it is still a bit warm, too.

I totally misread "sizer" as "sister" in the title... needless to say I am relieved and somehow disappointed...

Thanks everyone, except Max, I think I will try to pour method. It does seem easier that making the sticks.

Max, too much time by yourself dude.
