How to make lanolin case lube - Brian Enoss Forums I use the lanolin that looks like paste wax I put several ounces in a pan over boiling water to melt it and then mix it with a bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol from CVS After mixing if completely dissolved I add more lanolin until the mixture is saturated where the lanolin is coming out of solution and settling to the bottom
