Hey guys, was just curious of your thoughts on the Ed's Red lube- I made some up today over lunch and it seemed really thin... To clarify, I'm talking about the part in the instructions where they say you can divert a certain amount to a separate container to be used as a lubricant BEFORE adding the acetone and mineral spirits. So it would typically be equal parts ATF and kerosene (with some lanolin added if you desire).
After fooling around with the mix as equal parts, I added an additional part of ATF (so 2 parts ATF, 1 part kerosene) as well as near an once of lanolin and it's still pretty darned thin.
What would it be suited for? I suppose it'd be fine for wheel guns, shotguns, bolt actions, maybe a 1911 style pistol... But what about AR's and poly framed pistols with just a couple little tabs for rails like M&Ps and Glocks?
