Hi
I’m thinking of trying the above to see if it makes any difference. After I’ve washed the pellets can I leave them, in the tin, and lube them just before I use them. Or do I need to lube them straight away to stop oxidation etc? Thanks, Ken.

Lube them once they're dry, gently rolling from hand to hand sealed inside a ziplock bag is how I do it.
Thanks, how do you store them until you want to use them? Ken.
hello, i use LT 1 pellet lube
I wash my pellets the night before I need them. e.g will wash about 150 pellets tonight for tomorrows practice session.
I don't lube them until I am at the club.

Put them back in the tin which has also been cleaned to remove any swarf.
I actually tip newly opened tins out & only wash/lube if there is a load of swarf, if the tin's clean inside I don't bother to wash/lube.
Never store lubed pellets in a leather pouch it seems to draw any liquid from the lube & just leave a powdery residue.
Do you just rinse them in water or use a bit of washing up liquid in the water?

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Washing up liquid, probably a slightly stronger mix than to do the dishes.
put the pellets in a sieve swill them around &/or stir agitate by hand, rinse very well under a running tap then tip out on to paper to dry, once dry in to the oiling bag with maybe 2-3 drops of oil per 50 pellets & just pour/gently tumble from hand to hand for 10-15 minutes (usually while watching TV) then tip them back in to the tin ready for use.
