I am opening up my vault of secrets and will share a great one with y'all.
Ever wonder how the heck you can make beeswax pliable and not make it mushy? Well, wonder no longer! To one pound of melted beeswax add 200 grains of baking soda (it has to be baking soda like Arm & Hammer). Mix the baking soda into the melted beeswax thoroughly. Filter the melt prior to use. You will then have a very pliable beeswax that can be used for just about anything.
Enjoy making some pliable beeswax and you're welcome!
I should clarify my post - I didn't make any mention of using the pliable beeswax for bullet lube. I use it for carving miniatures (ducks, geese, etc.), and other fix-it projects that the wife doles out. I have even used it to temporarily plug a small hole in my duck boat - it worked in a pinch.
