Howdy all,
I'm about to try casting my own bullets for the first time and I just received what should be the last batch of supplies I'll need, other than the lead itself. I decided to use Lee Liquid Alox to lube the bullets because it requires less ancillary equipment.
Unfortunately, the cap of one of the bottles of Liquid Alox wasn't screwed on all the way, and it came open inside the box during shipment. I've got a sticky, brown, foul-smelling mess all over my new casting thermometer and a bunch of plastic flip-top ammo boxes I ordered. I'm not worried about using solvents on the metal thermometer, but I AM worried about hitting the plastic ammo boxes with anything too harsh.
What's the best way to remove this stuff without using any really nasty chemicals?
Thanks!
