Great thing about E45 is that it's an emulsion and just washes away, taking all the glep with it.

AND it's good for your hands, too.

I use 3mm cork wads,over powder so water based not good.
Snug fit, lube in a bag with some wonder lube,warmed up so it soaks in.
can't use semilina indoors.

how much black power or sub do you use,

[loiner1965]

I now use just cast bullets with no lube in the grooves and then dipped in udderley smooth....no leading and easy cleaning
Edit......bugger didn't read thread

I buy sheets of compressed 3mm thick cork,a few ft square at a time,does a few thousand for £5.
I made the cutter but a bought one should do the same.
In a drill press set so it doesn't quite go all the way through.cut about 15 then pop them out.
take mabe 5 mins to do 100.
around 20 grns equivalant by volume 777 (13.5 ish grns by weight) with one wad in an old uberti NMA.
That was measured though to give 2mm compression with the lever to the stop so that would be the minimum charge,
