[TPIN] Anhydrous lanolin...

[John Kool]

I used anhydrous lanolin since the 70's, also.
You get it from a drug store.
I never found it to get stiff with water or spit from inside the horn.
It cuts well well with valve oil, or even petroleum jelly.

If you want it pre-cut with petroleum jelly, you might try "udder balm", 
which works nicely also.  It may be sold more places than drug stores 
and was originally to soften cow teats and keep them from drying and 
cracking.

But I don't think it "plays well" with Binak lubricants, so I have been 
using Nanette's slide grease for a while now.
