Like a dumbazz I dropped my can of RCBS spray case lube and broke the little stem off at the nozzle!
Well, with about a half can left I wasn't going to waste it so I relieved the rest of the air pressure out of the can, took it out to my bandsaw and cut a slot in the can to pour out the remainder.
When I did I recognized the smell but couldn't put a name to it so I queried alternative case lube and read one entry about using Mink oil!
WELL - I suddenly realized that's what the smell was but the RCBS stuff was a lot thinner and has always 'dried up' on the cases after applying but left a very thin layer.
I read on and another story told about mixing certain lubes with alcohol and putting them in a small hand sprayer to apply and I suspect this is all the RCBS stuff is.
Conclusion? I am going to make my own spray lube next time!
