Hi,
vaseline is a very interesting product, used in many other costly products. Lipstck, cosmetics, WD-40, etc.
A couple of days ago, asking for Ballistol at a gun shop in Paris they offer Armistol as the same product. Reading the bottle it sais the is vaseline based.

Thanks
Martin

My friend loves ballistol, but have you looked on the bottle at the images what you can use it for?

I've used Lubri-Plate, STOS, and Pro-Gold with very good results. When I said I used a "Vaseline-like product", this is what I was referring to. Great stuff and a little goes a very long way.

The slacum process goes as follows:
- the stock is sanded several times, with wetting between sandings to raise the grain.
- the 'slacum' is applied and left to dry till about the consistency of toffee.
- the surplus slacum is removed by wiping it off with a cloth moistened with stock oil.
- finish with several coats of stock-oil.

According to the folks at Purdey's, slacum is a mixture of refined Linseed oil, paint hardener, and beeswax. The exact proportions will be retained by them, however! Personally, as a stock finisher myself, I like to have several different recipes made up for different types of wood, grain, and color. My shop bench has a dozen bottles of my own ingredients and recipes. It might look a bit messy, but the smells are wonderful.

ballistol is good on cuts and grazes - personally vouch for it.

STOS(by Ponsness Warren) is a wonderful high pressure lube for locks and many other uses. I also use it for case sizing lube and for bullet jacket lube when drawing jacketed bullets down to a smaller size in swage dies.
