Thanks all for the comments - I guess it seems I will need to premix some with a putty knife or my finger, then mix it with alcohol. If you just put the Lee Lube in there and shake it up, it won't mix well enough with 91% and just leaves little drops of lube in the bottom.

Note - I did inspect the alcohol bottle again with the spray nozzle I attached yesterday and more has dissolved. It appears that this is just a matter of the Lee Lube only being dissolvable in water - not alcohol. The alcohol is just the means of a good prep and reasonable distribution of the lube mix so that when the alcohol evaporates, then the water - only the lube remains.

I guess that's what I will try in the future! Thanks all for the comments and take care!
