Tom are you referring to Liquid Alox? If so, I've thinned mine with
denatured alcohol rather than mineral spirits. They dry faster that
way. I can't say what proportions. I just thin till it pours more
easily. Over time it separates, so I have to shake the bottle before
I start using it again.

Thanks, I'll try that! I just ordered a quart of generic off of ebay.


I looked at eBay under liquid alox and alox bullet lube and didn't
spot any liquid generic stuff. What term do I need to put in to find
it?

I've gotten my generic from Aircraft Spruce. IIRC it was about $18 /
quart for Par-AL-Ketone, an aircraft rust preventative, which seems to
be the same thing as Lee Liquid Alox.
