i found out what that stuff is made of.
aint the intergooglyweb great?
Lee Liquid
Alox bullet lubricant. This is actually the same material used by the
Ziebart Co. to rustproof automobiles, and is a mixture of 45% calcium
soap and 45% mineral spirits (petroleum distillates). According to Alox
Corp., who sell the product under the stoc no. 606-55, this material
was intended to be sprayed on to protect naval machinery on the decks
of ships against salt spray. It is very much like the cosmolene grease
used on weapons during WWII, except that it does not have to be heated
to be applied, and it can be readily thinned by dilution with mineral
spirits, or heated in a double-boiler (taking proper precautions
against fire).
