They sell an aqueous lanolin based creme at the local hardware store. It is called 'Bag Balm' and it works like a charm
Not sure who first used this in their Martini, I can only imagine the scenario.

"Bag Balm" has been around for over 100 years, originally made for use on dairy cows to

I remember seeing it in the barn when I was a kid.

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.
