Apple JUICE vs Apple CIDER

Saddle soap is mostly lanolin, glycerin, and neatsfoot oil. I have never used it myself for case lube, but a friend's dad used it for years on his large rifle dies that he hand loaded on a single stage press.

I don't know if this is the same as the lanolin you use, but I found these for a decent price at Amazon.

As to the pure alcohol, is it ethanol?.... and if so, would grain alcohol work since it is pure?

Again, thanks for the info...... I may play chemist and give it a try.

Wow, wish I could have found it in that small a container.
My tub of Pharmaceutical Grade Anhydrous Lanolin is the size of a large cottage cheese container.
It is a soft white about the consistency of peanut butter.

Any solvent that will completely evaporate and leave the lanolin film will work.
I bought a quart of denatured alcohol from a hardware store to use.

Ah ha!! denatured alcohol.....
I was trying to think of that and my brain was failing at the time. 

They have it at CVS, and wally world also, but I'd also rather spend the money at the local hardware store if they have it.

Thanks again for the info.
