Hi Dave-



As someone who's never used these products, it seems like the little

'pencil' oiler would be the way to go for lubing rod ends without lubing

everything else nearby.  Have you used that product, or is there something

I'm missing here?



TIA-

Hi Glen,  

   

I buy a half dozen of the pencil oilers at a time.  In the past I purchased syringes and filled them with the oil I used before Super Lube to be able to apply just the right amount…

What do you suppose the symbol with the airplane crossed out means?

  [quote]The product doesn’t meet the FAA’s regulations for flammability (for shipment).  It has to ship ground freight… This lubricant is dry, carried in a solvent.  When you apply it, the solvent flashes off leaving the dry lubricant behind.  This can be desirable because it will not adhere dirt the way a lubricant that remains liquid might. Dave  [b]

Carlos and Dave,

  

 Silly me!  I jumped to the conclusion that it was not to be USED on airplanes!  Thanks for straightening me out on this matter.

  

 Merry Christmas,

  

 Dan
