Re: Proper lubrication

Slickoleum (Slick-Honey) is my favorite lube.

Macroline guy has small tubs so you can try it out:

When I completely tear mine down I lube all moving parts and o-rings with Slickoleum. In between full teardowns I do the oil in the ASA technique. One of the points I like about slickoleum is it's zero stiction factor.

From their site:

"Our product was developed out of pure desperation to find a product to reduce break away friction. The application was needed to improve the performance of motocross suspension forks. The search for a solution to conquer this friction was on. Everything from Silicon to Teflon and anything imaginable was tested. Diligence finely succeeded, the magic formula had been discovered.
Further testing of the formula continued, finding that our grease had outstanding ability to resist corrosion and oxidizing. The formulation has components that have the tendencies to impregnate the pores of the surface. Our hypothesis was very exciting for the simple reason our discovery can be used in many applications.
Slickoleum is running ahead of the competition when it comes to lubricating Seals and O-rings that have linear movement. Why? Because Slickoleum tremendously reduces the static drag and breakaway force. Slickoleum has premium additive packages that has properties to reduce friction. An inherent feature of the additives is the ability to adhere and impregnate to the surface pores of the object that needs lubrication. The low to medium temperature range makes this product an outstanding choice for cold weather applications for the simple reason that you are insured total lubrication when your machine is stone cold. Slickoleum is safe to use on elastomers, MCU elastomers, buna O rings and seals. Slickoleum is calcium based, which is considered to be water proof. With the anti corrosion additive Slickoleum makes a good application for extreme wet mucky conditions."
