A different lube adventure

[LittleLebowski]

My wood stoves squeak a lot. As a gun geek, that annoys me. Conventional lubes are out due to the inevitable cook off and chemical smell. Seems like a textbook case for froglube, but I’m not buyin that shit again. I don’t think anything will last more than a couple weeks due to the extreme and constant heat, but I’m always on the lookout.

So far, Bohning bowstring wax works best (yes, I have a compound bow thanks to a good friend on here), but it’s very hard to apply.

I’m currently using the Dillon case lube clone which is simply 99% isopropyl alcohol and lanolin dissolved together in about 1:8 ratio of lanolin to alcohol. You simply warm up the lanolin bottle in a pan of hot water and pour it into your spray bottle of alcohol and shake it up. This stuff is lasting about a week.

Also, the Dillon case lube clone might be the finest gun surface protectant I’ve ever seen. Mist on, wipe it around, it keeps stuff from rusting phenomenally well. Of course, it makes a fine case lube as well

Try nickel based Never Seize. It's made for high temp applications like exhaust bolts.

I have some for suppressor mounts, but one experience with a gun lube on the stove made the house reek. I fear the same for this stuff.

I applied nickel Never Seize to my suppressor threads but never noticed any smell. Now I'm curious. Have you?

No, but fumes inside your house are very different than in a ventilated indoor range or just shooting outside.

Sounds like a job for Sperm oil. Which isn’t going to happen. Following.

Don't tease with a thread title that juicy

I’ll prolly try straight lanolin next.

Believe me, I get it. That's why I asked if you've ever gotten a whiff instead of just saying "I never smelled a thing, it should be ok!"

Have you tried powderized graphite?
