Lip Balm as patch lube?

[bendjoseph]

My wife got me a stick of lip Balm called Chicken Poop. Comes in the same tube as chapstick. It's Avacodo oil and bees wax. I wonder if I could use it as patch lube?

He, he, he -- WHY NOT - almost everything else has been used :grin: .

Chicken Poop Balm is not designed to cure chapped lips ,,, "but" prevent them ,,keeps you from licking them !!!!!

Took the words out of my mouth. :wink:
Yep, why not?

I would love to be a fly on the wall, when you tell everyone at the range, that you are using Chicken Poop for patch lube, LOL.......Robin :stir:

Sure, that lip balm would work. Its probably 100 times more expensive than making your own version from bee's wax ( one part) and olive oil (seven parts)

Not only that, your patch lube would work for treatment of chapped lips. I use my patch lube frequently for a variety of applications.

 

[bendjoseph]

I will report back with the results. I smelled it, I will only be using it as patch lube!

 

[Captjoel]

Probably work better for tooth paste! Chicken poop has grit in it. Real good for the bore. :haha:

Sounds like the kiss of death to me. :td:

If I was going to do it I would use Burt's Bees brand.

 

[bendjoseph]

It's got five ingredients in it:
Avocado oil
beeswax
jojoba oil
lavender essential oil
sweet orange essential oil

Which oil is gritty? :hmm:

When I am hunting I use Chapstick to lube the paper on my Paper Patched bullets. Some might think it is expensive but here is the fact. It shoots same point of aim as any other lube. And it is in a convenient tube to dispense. It costs about a buck. How can you go wrong? Ron

 

[robert reed]

Sure can't argue with Idaho Ron's results in the hunting fields.

Its probably the beeswax ,it didnt get cleaned right.My wife uses these in her soap makin so thats what she said. Curt

 

[necchi]

It ain't rocket science friend,
Spit,, has enough lube for patches.

Would be better suited to those who blow down their barrels :thumbsup:

C.C. If you Google Roxanne Quimby (Berts Bees) and read the history of the thousands of acres she has purchaced and closed to traditional usage in Maine you may have second thoughts about supporting this product. NOT a popular subject up here. I would sooner use Chicken _ _ _ _ !

 

[Billnpatti]

I am convinced that there is absolutely no end to the number of things that have been, and are being, used to lube patches. Chicken Poop lip balm would just be one more and who knows, it ought to work just fine. Keep us posted.

Thank you for the heads-up. An "interesting" read.

My statement wasn't meant to endorse Burt's Bees but rather beeswax.
Roxanne sold the company to the Clorox company in 2007 so buying it now would benefit Clorox. Reason enough to complain on its own.
If she wants to take the billions she made and buy land with it to preserve it .....more power to her... Seems like you should be mad at the person who sold her the 120000 acres.

Canada leased millions of acres of boreal forest to the oil companies to be destroyed. Seems like a bigger crime to me. :idunno:
