The only challenge is application.
I hate those things. They're like drones with 3/8" drills attached. I actually make traps for them out of 4x4 stock and jars. The traps collect dozens and dozens of the bees, but there are always more; and they can even manage to get in under the aluminum fascia if there's a small void or seam anywhere. Maybe spraying those places with Ballistol would help.

It definitely belongs on the list of 10,000 most likely things that should be tried as patch lube. Based on the ingredients, It might could work well. I just checked our can of it, even though we haven't had horses for 10 years or so. The saddle soap seems to have all dried out.
I think I'll just stick with what's working for me now.ohio ramrod

When I started in this game sperm whale oil was considered the go to oil/ patch lube. Since 1968 it has been unavailable. But Dixie sells a synthetic made from Jobola beans that I can't tell from the real stuff (which I still have a few ounces left)

It is not synthetic , it should be 100% natural . I just buy mine from a health shop .
