Lanolin & 99% Iso. Alcohol

[Bang]

Apparently, some members are rubbing it on their nipples.

I use it for lubing brass before sizing.

I can't tell you how long I have been looking for the recipe for the mythical brass lube/nipple rub. Solves the two greatest problems I have of chaffing nipples and brass being stuck in my dies. If I could get the mix amounts it would cut my bandaid budget by 78.49% for both issues.

From what I've read, the majority use a 1:5 or 6 ratio (Lanolin:Alcohol). Some even go to 1:10 or 12. I'll probably start somewhere in the middle, but I'd like to hear what others are using.

Here is where I found my recipe... works great, very close to the commercial sprays like Dillon.

Not hippies. Lanolin is often recommended for nipple pain during breastfeeding.

Somehow, I wasn't aware of that.

I found that same recipe months ago, just never made up a batch. Also found one for making a polish.

Not even after they regain consciousness?

I LOLed.

I saw a reference to Denatured alcohol in that thread that 10xclean linked to.

Has anyone else heard of using that???
I've got at least a gallon of Denatured Alcohol, from when I cleaned my K98k stock.


Wonder if it would work???

My guess is that if it's 90% or better it would probably work. If not you're just out the cost of the lanolin. And if it doesn't you could always rub it on your nipples.

From what I've been reading, Isopropyl is less expensive to make and is less poisonous than Denatured alcohol.

Since the Denatured Alcohol that I have, is stored in a metal can, now the question is. . . . .'will the denatured alcohol affect a plastic spray bottle'???

(Don't want to go into my workshop and find a 'sticky mess' (from the lanolin) all over my workbench.)

"Denatured" refers to adding a small amount of a toxic substance, (gasoline works) to ethyl alcohol to make it unpotable and therefore not taxable. So what you probably have is ethyl alcohol. Most plastic containers won't be melted by it.

You could add a small amount to a spray bottle and let it sit for a day or two to be sure.

When I mix up a batch of this stuff, will it be good indefinitely?

It really depends on how much you made up and how often you're applying it to your nipples.

I will stop by CVS on the way home, and ask if they have any nipple balm.

By the time that you drive around to find everything, buy all of that, the lanolin, the alcohol, and the spray bottle, and go through the process of mixing it, you could just order this:

It's the same thing, and it works great. Best case lube that I've ever tried. It's a bit cheaper when it's on sale, once in a while.

Stopped at CVS in Waldorf (St. Chas. Pky. @ Rte. 5), to get an Rx and asked about the lanolin.

None in stock.
The lady that walked me all over the store looking for it, said that they do not carry the 'liquid' lanolin.

Since a number of members seem to be finding it at hippie gathering places, I would check out natural food type venues (not really the first thing that Waldorf brings to mind).

Alternatively, you could stop random women and ask them where they get that stuff they rub on their nipples...

There's a vitamin shop not too far from my daily commute route.
Might stop there on the way home, Monday.

My wife goes into some of those 'hippie' places, from time-to-time, in Anne Arundel County.
I'll ask her to pick some up, for me.

There you go, David's and Whole Foods are both in AA.

Now for the conversation with the wife, I imagine it will go something like this: "Oh dear, are your nipples tender?".

Don't forget to spray a litttle Drakkar Noir in it for a fresh, manly scent everytime you reload.
