This is an instructional for how to make absurd amounts of lube, based off my own experiments. There's really not enough information out there about this, so I figured I'd write up this guide for the next person that needs 15 gallons of glowing lube for... reasons.
Components
1×
10oz J-Lube
Powdered lube originally for veterinary use in livestock obstetrics - polyethylene oxide
1×
1/2 Lbs Methylcellulose, food grade
Food safe thickener, emulsifier, and the active ingredient of KY-Jelly
1×
5 gallon bucket
Food grade
1×
Large stockpot
1×
Mixing implement - whisk, immersion blender, etc.
Fill the 5 gallon bucket up with around 2-3 gallons of cold tap water. You can eyeball it, doesn't have to be exact.
2
Boil ~1/2 gallon of water in the stockpot for your methylcellulose
Methylcellulose is actually less soluble in hot water - the opposite of most chemicals. In our case, that's actually useful - in hot water, the methylcellulose stays in suspension as a bunch of non-sticky little particles, and is easy to break up until it's evenly dispersed. If you try to mix methylcellulose in cold water, it clumps up and is a real pain.
3
(optional) add pigment
If you want to add a pigment, it's usually best to add it to the hot water now, before you stir in the methylcellulose.
