Not going to ask you why you have that.....

My vote is for Amos' suggestion. Works very well.

Decided not to break open my gearbox and re-lube. However, the motor whines when firing, regardless of motor height. There is another thread on this forum about motor whine, but I will ask here instead. What should I consider when looking for a silicone lube for the bevel/pinion gears?

Thanks.

I wasn't kidding so I don't think it's ironic, Anal lube works wonders and some have pretty scents too.

Just don't use the Pina Colada one... that stuff will smell-bomb a room and everything it touches.

Astroglide and KY work wonders =D

I use brake lubricant in my gearboxes weird I know, but it doesn't leave black residue everywhere and also makes a good piston head lubricant. I've used lithium, silicon and all have little airleaks when I put it back together but with brake lubricant I get zero. Plus it only costs like $4-6 at walmart/crappy tire for a huge tube of it.

Is dielectric silicone the same as 100% pure silicone?

Some people used this stuff, so this is what I got. Will it work?

AGS Sil-Glyde

That stuff appears to be decent enough that I would try it. However, i'll stick with my AG Chemicals solution because:

1. Made in Canada
2. Internal Safe
3. Doesn't conduct electricity
4. Incredibly Viscous, sticks to parts lubed
5. Basically waterproof

Yeah, this Sil-Glyde stuff is extremely thick.

Someone recommended this, but you can get like 20 times the amount of the same stuff for like $6.

I've used Super Lube with Syncolon (PTFE, aka "Teflon") for about 10 years now, and it's been perfect for almost all airsoft use, from all gearbox parts to GBB's. The viscosity has the perfect balance of low resistance with "sticking" power, and the oil base with PTFE has really good lubricating properties.

After doing gunwork for other people for almost 8 years, I'm finally coming to the end of the original 3 oz tube I'd purchased, so I'm looking to buy more of this awesome stuff, but have no idea where to get it.

I had an easier time finding this stuff before, but it seems like it's impossible these days. Does anybody know of anywhere local to find this?

Fastenal is supposedly a distributor.

3400 14th Ave, unit 1
905-305-6379

2200 Markham Road, unit 11
416-642-1856

1990 Ellesmere Road, unit 1
416-297-8971

11 Carlaw Ave
416-645-1383

The last one is near me, I might drop in and see as they have other stuff I sort of need too.

I went to both the Markham Road and 14th Ave locations, but neither had any in stock.

So they do carry it? I'll call before I go.

I just checked their US website, and they said they do carry it... but their online system doesn't link up with the Canadian inventory. Maybe they can order it...

Brian Beware. Fastenal may be like acklands grainger or Mcmaster carr where what is in the US catalogue is not available for sale in Canada due to differences in laws. It sounds stupid but I had a 10 dollar order or O RINGS seized by Homeland security as it was on the ITAR list.

Yes I know they shouldn't have seized as it's <100 dollars and their are commercial and industrial uses but you get a couple of anal idiots and things get stupid fast.

I suggest AG Chemical solution or trying a bicycle supply store. TRIFLOW has a branded silicon grease that contains Teflon and is food safe.
