I had already prepared an Amazon order for a Lanolin home brew that I picked up off the site. That order is now on infinite hold.
There is nothing wrong with the homemade lanolin lube overall, but you have to learn the best way to use it. There are a few lessons to be learned from this thread, some of which is speculation since I can't see exactly what the OP did:
1) The OP mentioned in another thread that he was using solid lanolin rather than liquid. Might be too thick? Just guessing...
2) He also mentioned in that other thread that he had a hard time getting it to dissolve. Maybe too much lanolin in the mixture? 12:1 is a good place to start.
3) It sounds like he might have sprayed too much lanolin on his cases. A couple of short sprays is all that is needed. Roll them around, it is amazing how just a very little bit will coat a lot of brass.
4) Don't wait too long to remove it after sizing.
A funny analogy regarding #3 above: I sometimes roast raw almonds coated with olive oil in the oven to use as a healthy snack. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a pound of raw almonds. When you put the almonds in the tray, and then pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the almonds, I say every time, "there is no way that is enough olive oil to coat the almonds". Yet, everytime, there is PLENTY!!! Once I mix the almonds arounds with a spatula and turn them over and over, it amazes me every time that every single almond gets WELL coated.
Same thing with the lanolin: use a LOT LESS than you think you need, and roll the cases around a lot in the tray/box/bag that are using. I prefer the large Ziplock baggie method: Fill a gallon Ziplock baggie with a bunch of brass so that you can keep them as a single layer in the bag when laying flat on the bench. Spray one or two sprays of 12:1 Lanolin mix into the bag (start with 1 spray... trust me). Seal the bag, then rub them around-and-around inside of the bag for a minute or two to evenly coat all of the brass. Then I dump them out on a couple of layers of paper towels and let them sit for about 2-3 minutes before loading. Works great.
Be sure to clean them right away after sizing.
Just my 2 cents...
