Old recipes seem to be based around Beeswax/Tallow/Olive oil in various ratios. I've settled on Beeswax/Olive Oil and wintergreen exrtract ( Doubles as great lip balm! ) It smells just like TC bore butter, but I can make it as thick or thin as I want and it works great as a lube to melt into your felt wads, or an over the ball lube. I use the same mix to coat the cylinder pin and to cut lube pills sometimes.
