Haven't been able to get a response from Tom using his website. This morning I see Track shows his product as a "Closeout" and note that it's Sold Out.
Anyone have any idea what's going on..???
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I have used George Sutton's "Mr. Flintlock" product. In fact,I still have 4-5 bottles of it on my shelf. It's a decent product and I don't have a problem using it when my current supply of LHV is exhausted. In side-by-side T&E I determined that LHV suited me better. If LHV has indeed gone away I'll use Mr. Flintlock as an alternative for the time being. I foresee the distinct possibility that my Chemist brain will kick in at some point and I'll just do like so many others and create my own liquid patch lube and cleaner.
 
As 29 Dec 2018 Lehigh Valley Lube is still out of stock at TOTW.
I tried to find this lube at all the on line dealer list on the Lehigh Valley Lube web site and none could be found. Not even found on the home web site.
Looks like this product is unavailable again.
 
As a followup to my earlier post, I can tell you that I was able to contact Tom DeCare, the gentleman who was producing and marketing the "Original Lehigh Valley" (LHV) product. Tom explained to me that another product he produces was keeping him too busy to continue also manufacturing and marketing LHV. He had to make a choice and decided to discontinue LHV production.
 
I'm quite happy with Mr. Flintlock's lube. LHV might a smidgeon better but not enough to worry about and soon LHV will only be a product lamented around the campfire.
Just shoot the stuff and we will soon learn to overcome and ignore any negative changes.
At least George is still looking out for us. Tom should have had the decency to just let us all know he was discontinuing a product many of us depend upon.
