  "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
