Harbor freight lists it @4$.

 

[Brad]

Harbor Freight is a place I have been to twice. It is too far away to be handy.
For some reason Bellevue has a bunch of parts stores.

 

[freebullet]

Your not missing much. Cheap China tools & other assorted mostly broken stuff.
I drive by it almost daily. Helps save a few $$$ on some projects too.

It sounds like this lube needs heat to flow. Is that correct?

 

[KHornet]

Is it temp sensitive? Above 90 degrees, and below freezing?

 

[freebullet]

K
I think he mentioned it worked from low teens to 110 on the first page.
I'll stop and get some of the grease. I'm not sure if I have enough beeswax. I probably do. I'll give you & Brad some samples.

 

[Glen]

Yes, the car parts store.

 

[freebullet]

I stopped at hf.

They had it in these tubes for 4.40$. I'll have to weigh out my remaining bwax supply.

 

[waco]

Where was this at Freebullet?

 

[Brad]

HArbor Freight in Omaha.

Too bad the don't have Chinese bees making wax for them.

Ha! Right? I'll have to swing by HF soon and pick some up. I might have to make a batch up for our HV challenge.

Lol, I'ma gunna sendem' an email & suggest that. I've done it before and noticed the items I asked for in 6mo-1yr later. I guess if enough folks want it & they can make a buck.....

I found 1lb bags of yellow beeswax pellets on Amazon for $11.79

Sounds like a reasonable price...

 

[freebullet]

Yeah that price sounds reasonable.
A local friend got me 5lb for $40. It was all he could get me at the time. About the same price I could order from randyrat for. Not much cheaper. I would love to have bees I love honey & use the wax but, wife's allergic to bee venom.

I made 7 batches of Felix +about 5-10% bwax as it was pan lube before the star arrived. Not sure what that left me with.

 

[Brad]

Is randy rat cheaper? I bit the bullet a few years back and got 10 pounds from him.

 

[waco]

I have never made lube before. Thought I might give it a go on a small scale. Lars products have treated me well over the years.

 

[freebullet]

He was same price. That was 2 years ago though. Of course when you buy in bulk the price should get better.

Don't do it! Next thing you know a large bin of ingredients is in the kitchen and multiple 10 pounds boxes of wax are in the basement. You end up with batches of lube you never even used and they are 3 years old!

Worst of all, you end up wearing a damn sombrero!

 

[freebullet]

I've never bought lube other than the alox that came with my pushthroughs.


The BIG question remains- WHAT ARE WE GUNNA CALL THIS?

I vote-
