How much under bore diameter should Minie' ball be sized?

This looks like the 100% neatsfoot oil?

Kevin gives me too much credit. "KNOWS what he's doing?" I just know what I know.

Steve, I use Fiebings and yes, it is a small bar.

Hello:

I ended up calling and speaking with an INFORMED techy to learn about true purity of a brand, because one brand with a container of "pure" also recited "mineral spirits" in the fine print. Techy could/would not explain the contradiction.
Maybe wise to get the "MSDS" sheet for review.

AND, if Bob Anderson says ok on mineral spirits, I would accept HIS guidance.

I looked up the MSDS sheets online for both the "Prime" compound and the 100% version, and the prime compound does seem to contain mineral spirits while the 100% pure does not seem to have any mentioned additives.

Thanks for the recipe Bob. I'm certainly going to give Bob-O-Leen a try!

Without knowing there was a difference, I used the compound once...ONCE.

Use the pure.
