Thinning solid Alox

[gunboat57]

I have an old can full of Alox, not liquid Alox. It is the NRA mix with 50% Alox 2138F and 50% beeswax. Can this be thinned with some kind of solvent so it behaves more like liquid Alox? I'd like to get it so it drips at room temperature so I can tumble lube and still have the bullets dry overnight.

With the wax in it you are not going to get it to act like regular Alox as it will never harden like you want when applied. I would try lighter fluid for thinning some, if anything would work that would be the best bet. IMHO

Oderless mineral spirits.
Get the oderless stuff otherwise you'll have to put up with lots of stink.

Alox is "Calcium soaps" dissolved in mineral spirits.
