the local BP competition shotgunners use it for felt wads, and it is useful on patches, as well. Heat the mix carefully [wives just HATE soot on the kitchen ceiling]and dip the wads. Lay them out to cool/solidify on waxed paper/tinfoil. Same with patches. Both wads and patches best carried afield in grease-proof tins like musket cap containers, etc. unless y'r aiming for that all-winter-worn, greasy clothing re-enactor look.

The rifle-loading block hung from a thong is handy, and there are available pop-top plastic tubes for the shotgun setup. Haven't checked Track of the Wolf in quite some time, so you might check and see what's new in lubes, carriers, etc.
