Rodwha, i too had the same issue with gatofeo lube being a bit soft to rub onto the bullets, would melt too fast etc...so solved the issue by stiffening it up by adding more beeswax...so equal parts of beeswax, tallow, and parrafin wax. Works better too...atleast for my application. I got my empty chapstick tubes on amazon, they were really inexpensive too. Sometimes while shooting ill just run the chapstick tube of lube against the arbor and use as arbor lube...works great. But now for arbor lube i use custom mix of 1/4 cold pressed cocoanut oil (the kind that is solid at room temp but melts as soon as u touch it) and 3/4 lanolin. Mix it together and put it in the small lip balm squeeze bottle applicators...now that mix works very good for arbor lube, keeps it running slick, ive even started using it to lube up the works inside my revolvers. I have a friend who uses my lube chap stick tubes to apply lube over the balls too...says its less messy and a fast easy applicator.
