Sounds like a worthy cause. There free after you use the eggs. I don't use over powder wads my self. I use some valve packing grease that I was given a long time ago when I was working for my father-in-lawback in the 60's. This stuff is a mixture of wax and grease that was used to keep gasoline valves form leaking. It worked quite well. I use it to lube the round ball and to prevent chain fireing. After seating the ball I just wipe a little over the end of the cylinder like some guys use crisco.
