Ok so there is supposed to be no silly questions here

Just picked up some crisco from a USA food store here in Australia, I wanted to try the real thing.

So looking at this crisco, and lubing patches in general is there anything wrong with only lubing one side ?

Most people seem to want to melt the lube and dunk the patches in lubing both sides, but why lube the ball side of the patch ?

It seems that by just rubbing the patch around on the crisco should lube one side just fine, and use that side as the outside of the patch, this may take a bit longer than dunking in melted lube, but does away with the melting part.

Or does melting make the crisco stick better, just asking ?
