you mean it`s a little too runny ???

I think it depends on the alox thickness to begin with ???

Mines the consistency of maple syrup almost & will leave a golden sheen on the bullets , I stand em on there ends & if it looks as if the temp was too hi & too much ran off I`ll do it again .

I do scrape the run off up & put it back in the container though .

I did only a couple of batches & shot probably 50 or so , I just think it`s a messy way to lube bullets & ran the rest thru the lubsizer.

Some people say warm the bullets before tumbling & I did by puttin em in the sun until warm but it seemed to make it all run off ???
