Is your lube solid, a gel or liquid at room temperature?
I'm happy with the traditional: 40% paraffin, 40% lamb tallow and 20% beeswax.

What is the source of your lanolin? When I was gathering my components (actually I already had plenty of paraffin and beeswax) the only "pure" lanolin I found locally was at the pharmacy. It was a product for nursing mothers and was expensive. I tried some lanolin based hair treatment; but, like yours, it was sticky at room temp. My eventual solution was to render my own tallow from lamb suet.
