So, J Lube, it's a powdered lubricant concentrate.
Comes in a 10 oz. plastic bottle, you add water too it, it makes lube (or apparently really sweet bubble blowing bubbles with some other stuff added).
I just got a bottle in the mail from Amazon, the 10 oz. there is $15.
Depending on concentration that 10 oz. bottle is supposed to make 6-8 gallons of lube.
$2-3 per gallon of lube is stupidly cheap.
So, has anyone tried this stuff out?
I found a website with mixing tips, tried an experiment out.
Did 3 bowls of the stuff, mixed all of it in one bottle, pour around equal amounts in each.
1 bowl I used my stick blender, then microwaved it for 4 minutes.
1 I simply stirred with a fork and microwaved for 4 minutes.
Last bowl went into a saucepan, heated on the stove top until the bubbles from boiling started to climb the side of the pan.
Allowed them all to cool to room temp.
Blender, no good, technically lube but only compared to water.
Apparently the blades cut through the polymer chains and ruin the lubricating ability of the stuff.
The other 2 turned out about the same thickness/lubrication-wise.
The stove top kept more lumps than the microwave.
Both left a coating of slime on the inside of my bowl/pan.
I'm hoping a long soak in water will clear that up.
If anyone knows a cleaner, and better way to mix the stuff up, I'd appreciate any tips.
