"VJ Lube

1 part pure Lanolin
1 part petroleum jelly
Talc

Heat in a coffee can in a pan of water until it's turned to liquid.
Add as much talc as it will absorb.
Store in the small film containers."

Too much Lanolin, IME! Best do 1/2 that amount. Also, the best vessel for doing the 'melting' is a baby food jar inside a glue pot or coffee warmer setup.
Modern version:
1/2 part pure Lanolin, (Pharmacies have it)
1 1/2 parts Vasoline Petroleum Jelly
Microfine Teflon Powder

Hope that helps,
Joe
