Anyhow, I agree with the idea of mixing in a 'dry' lubricant along with the
wax. The theory being that as/when the wax 'evaporates' the 'dry' is still
working . . . also you need less of the 'dust capturing' material. HOWEVER,
I have found graphite to be a mess, no matter how careful you are. Whit I
use is something called 'Motor Mica'. It is a dry white lube, almost
identical to graphite. I have a pint/pound can that has lasted for YEARS.
Got it from a reloaders supply outfit . . . used to remove impurities from
molten bullet metal.

I use a small baby jar 3/4th full of paste wax (Butcher's) and one small
tube of dry graphite (Auto store), mix it in the wax slowly while you add
a
drop of mineral spirits to the wax so you can stir it.
