I get the Heet at the dollar store for…1 part Lanolin oil to 10 parts "Heet". I use rubbing alcohol greater than 70% alcohol.
Mix in a spray bottle that I got in the "travel" section of your local store (where they sell the travel sized stuff - toothpaste, deo, etc). Spray bottle was ~ $0.97 I think.
Then i wandered over to the isle that sells the rubbing alcohol. Get greater than 70% alcohol content. 99% would be ideal, but >70% works too.
Lanolin..... that's a different story. I ordered off of Amazon. I think any feed store might sell is as it is used by farmers on their cow/goat udders (to keep them soft and supple).
Mix in spray bottle 10:1. Shake. I lay a bunch of shells on an old cookie sheet. A quick spritz to get the top-side "wet". Then shake to get it all over the cases. You could also do the zip-lok bag spray and shake too.
Let the alcohol air evap for about 2 minutes then started running them through the sizer/decapper.
I haven't had a stuck case since.
Lots of YouTube videos of people using HEET (the automotive fuel line conditioner sold in auto parts stores). I found the rubbing alcohol to be cheaper and it works the same principal (to act as an agent to thin the lanolin so it can be used in a spray bottle, then evaporate quickly leaving a thin coating of lanolin).
