No, not yet another candidate for lubricating firearms. This dielectric grease has all sorts of uses, but what I use it for is lubrication of threads and o-rings on all my flashlights and WMLs. The heads and tailcaps of these lights rotate more smoothly with this grease applied and I think there's less of a chance of tearing an o-ring. If you live in a part of the country where the humidity gets very low, grease will keep the o-ring from drying out. I bought a three ounce tube and I guess it will last forever because it doesn't take much at all to apply a thin layer. It spreads quite well and stays on a long time and it doesn't oxidize. I couldn't be more pleased with how this stuff performs. Super-Lube The three ounce tube is stock number 21030 . According to their Compatibility Chart, this grease is compatible with all plastics and almost all rubber. This stuff is food-grade as well, so you could use it on knives and multitools if there's a possibility that you might slice food with one. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | ||

I have some in the garage and it is really handy for a lot of applications. | |||

I also use it. Great for a tool box where you want to carry some grease, but are trying to avoid making a mess. I am on my sixth tube so far. I use it for o-rings, fuel filter gaskets, some electrical fittings. -c1steve | |||

I have a bunch of it as well. I also like the oil. Great for around the house and not too shabby as a gun lubricant (both the oil and grease). I purchased big tubes and bottles of the grease and oil. Gave some of it to my nephew (who is a SWAT Sniper for a large city in Ohio) and he has used it on his work rifles for a couple of years now. He swears by it. Says the action on his bolt rifles have never been smoother. Once I run out of the SLIP2000 products I have, I will probably transition over to it as well for all of my firearms. Heck of a lot cheaper... The "Boz" | |||

Also good for the ends of batteries in anything, especially outdoors. My game cameras, for example. Spark plug hoods, as well. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Slip2000's EWG grease is thinner than Super-Lube but I imagine Super-Lube would be a decent substitute. I have a 1.5 ounce jar of EWG and just like my tube of Super-Lube, it looks to last forever for me. I can see Super-Lube working really well on, say, a Mini-14- on the bolt lugs and in the roller cutout in the op-rod and in the op-rod raceway on the receiver. Slide Glide is good stuff for this purpose but it's an organic grease, and over time, when exposed to air, it oxidizes and turns from a transluscent red to a shit brown color. To me, the change in color gives the impression that the grease is not as effective as it was when it was first applied. Super-Lube doesn't oxidize. Maybe oxidation doesn't compromise the properties of the grease, but, I wonder. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I've had a tub of it for years that I use to lube the rails of my aluminum framed pistols. | |||

I have had a tube of this stuff for a number of years now. It seems to work as advertised, and have no complaints with it. A little dab will do ya. | |||

Big fan of this lube. I keep it in a syringe for easy placement. Great stuff. | |||

I will have to give this a try. Thanks _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||

Thanks for the recommendation! Food grade will work for my plumbing applications also, like the syringe also! _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

I use silicone faucet grease to lube o-rings. Its consistency is rather like 60 °F Vaseline, but it’s perfectly clear. Back when I had incandescent lights I’d put a little of it on the screw thread to prevent the light from seizing in the socket. Serious about crackers | |||

I have had a small tube I carry with me at camp. When a gun needs help it seems to be great fix. That little tube could last a long time. I can't imagine anyone using that 55 gal drum. _______________________________ 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but > because he loves what is behind him.' G. K.

Works well and is the go to product on our boat forum to lube up a manual pump toilet on a boat. Keeps the pooper pumping smoothly!

It's worked well on everything I've used it on. Slides, hinges, etc. No complaints. My one tube looks like it will last the rest of my life. _________________ This space left intentionally blank. | |||

I have been using it for several years, ever since Robert Burke included a free tube along with a gun he returned to me. Since it is NLGI #2, it is ideal for gun slide contact surfaces. For all the reasons stated, I like that it remains clear and consistent over time. I still use a Lubriplate grease (whitish) around the trigger components. I've never tried Super-Lube for O-rings because I already had been using another product made specifically for O-ring installations, Sylglide. But I suspect the Super-Lube would work just as well. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Super Lube is also sold by John Deere as grease #TY25744. Ten bucks a tube at your local JD dealer. -Scott -NRA Pistol Instructor -NRA Shotgun Instructor -NRA Range Safety Officer -NRA Metallic cartridge & Shotgun Reloading Instructor -MA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

I think they have different grades/weights of it. I know we have some machines which require it - beats the heck out of fighting w. the old food grade lithium stuff. | |||

non ducor, duco |
I have to double check but I think this is what a bought for my pcp rifles as normal lube would ignite from the pressures First In Last Out | |||
