Great thread, thanks for the pointers to places where i can get the lubes, spent some time in a local hardware shop, couldnt find any that's singapore for you (when it comes to flashaholicism)
anyway, to chip in a bit here, i bought a set of these microfiber cloths for my wife to polish her patent leather shoes, it's cheap, not too big a size and free shipping too. You could just use one of the cloths to clean a whole load of lights and just chuck it, instead of having one of those huge microfiber cloths and have to store it and look for clean spots to use etc. For $1.80 its a steal.
EDIT: technically this post isnt about grease or lubes but i'm thinking its ancillary to it, to be used in the cleaning process so that's why i think its relevant but feel free to delete it if you're of a different opinion
Krytox is compatible with fluorosilicone. I don't know about Nyogel.I read through all 39 pages but couldn't find an answer...
Will Nyogel 760G or Krytox damage fluorosilicone o-rings?
Hi,
Would TW25b gun grease be safe to use on the moving parts and o-rings of my Malkoff MD2?
Thanks
Jason
I'm not familiar with TW25b grease. Petroleum based lubricants can destroy some o-rings.

The MSDS states "Other Ingredients Include ... highly refined mineral oils." Mineral oil is a petroleum distillate.I looked at the MSDS sheet on their website (http://mil-comm.com) , and they list no hazardous ingredients (http://mil-comm.com/images/stories/pdfs/2014-TW25B-MSDS.pdf) , so there are no petroleum distillates.
