frankford arsenal case lube

Has anyone tried the frankford arsenal case lube? I have mixed results. Cleaning the FL die and spraying some of the lube inside the FL die, makes a big difference. I have a friend that did just spray the case and wait and start sizing, had much trouble. I asked if he read the instructions. He said, barely.
 
I've gone thru 3 bottles without issue. It is my favorite other than Imperial die sizing wax that I use for setting up my dies and when I'm do maybe 20-30 rounds.
 
I have used the Frakford and Dillon (same stuff) for years with zero problems other than one time when I did not give the lubed cases adequate time for the alcohol to evaporate before sizing. That was a guaranteed stuck case, so after applying give the cases a few minutes for the alcohol to evaporate and you should be good to go. BTW, I have had excellent results using this lube for any sizing operation from mild neck sizing/shoulder bump on up to case forming operations. Good luck
 
I have used several bottles. I used to lightly spray it over the brass in a plastic tray, shake then spray again but this resulted in uneven coverage. I now put 50 or so in a plastic grocery bag, spray the lube in and "massage" the brass from the outside to spread the coverage and then dump in my plastic tray to dry - got that method from someone here and it works well.
