    Thanks for the input :) I've been thinking about going the Lanolin route myself. I wonder if you could use the old stamp pad type lube applicator? And how are you cleaning the cases after sizing? Tanks, Dale

    yep the red iso heet is same thing...ive read that 91% iso will work too but it will need to be shaken up as the lanolin dont stay suspended....and im pretty sure my stuck case was because i sprayed 1 case and rolled it around in my fingers so all the lanolin stuck to my fingers not the case.

    try it youll be glad you did....just put 1oz liquid lanolin and 12ozs 99% ISO alcohol(or as upSLIDEdown said)the red can ISO heet in a spray bottle and shake it up...lay your cases out in what ever...lotta guys spray them in a gallon size zip lock bag roll them around and dump them out to dry...i just bought a cake pan for $2 bucks at wal-mart...threw 93 cases in it gave them 3 mist sprays let them dry(or actually the alcohol evaporate)and sized them...i just used a small rag with 91% ISO and wiped them down.
    the liquid lanolin is real thick...i put 12oz alcohol in the spray bottle then put the lanolin and the spray bottle in the sink in HOT water for about 10mins before mixing.
