Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Bag Lube?

LOL, at least it would be a show for sure.....

And, it would go down as one of the greatest posts ever in one of those "What I Saw at the Range" threads.

Baby powder sucks donkey balls in damp weather. Superglue would be a better lube...

At one time Sinclair sold powdered carnuaba wax which was excellent but I noticed they don't carry it anymore. Good thing I bought a couple of bottles.

Swifty had a good suggestion with the Protektor bag. I've never shot the silver bag, they do make a Cordova variation. That coupled with sailkote spray is slicker than pig snot. I've used sailkote on leather bags without any issues.

Thanks for all the suggestions gents!

I'm going to experiment using the following suggestions:

1) rub down the front and rear bag, plastic fore stock, with clothes dryer sheets (thanks Al)

2) Buy the SailKote spray and apply to front and rear bags, plastic fore stock (thanks AJ) https://www.westmarine.com/buy/mclube--sailkote-high-performance-dry-lubricant-8-oz--17757741 I need to go to local boat place to get some Marine-Tex to bed a project gun (is in stock) and maybe they have the SailKote also.

3) alternative: wax paper, poker cards, thin cloth sprayed w/silicone waterproof product I have on hand. My intention is to avoid solutions that ad an additional item needed to put on bag and have wind blow off if I lift gun and so forth. (thanks gents)

Abandon: KY jelly as it's weird and as suggested wet lubes probably not a good method for reasons cited above.

I might invest in that Protektor silver skin bag. I'll start with the front and rear bags on hand.

That slick silver is a 3M slick cloth. It doesn’t need any additional product. I used a variation of that for 25+ years on seal bars for shrink wrap packaging machines. It PTFE impregnated, stands up to a 410 degree hot knife pressed against it getting cycled 2000 times in 8 hrs for about 3-4 weeks. Nothing sticks to it.

I used to keep a piece of heavy vacuum bag- evidence bag. I would place it on the bag first

👌
The bag sounds interesting. If they ever start running BR matches around here again I'd be thinking about picking one up and trying it out.

The powdered wax used on treadmill belts works very well on bags. -Al

Mostly ground up paraffin.
