Lubricant for raw ns threads

[philsyson]

Hi All
Rob recommends Nyogel 779 for raw ns threads. Anyone know where to buy this in the uk. I can only find lighthound on google and they're US based.
Thanks
Phil

PM me your address.
I'll put some in a suitable container and post it to you

Done. Thanks Reeso.

Btw... My raw ns flicks on and off as you twist from low to high output settings and requires a very firm twist to activate the higher output level. Other raws don't seem to have this problem. Would you happen to know the cause?

Thanks
phil

Hi all,

Nyogel 760g can be bought from Flashaholics, in the UK - http://www.flashaholics.co.uk/nyogel...0g-grease.html

They also have Nano Lube / oil. http://www.flashaholics.co.uk/accessories/nano-oil.html either of these will be perfect for your threads.

Lighthound ship internationally and amazingly it is quite reasonably priced, should only set you back about $4-5 for shipping.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Much appreciated

For copper alloys, plain old sewing machine oil is all you need, or a light lithium grease if you want a more heavily-lubricated feel. Petroleum lubricates metal better than silicone anyway. I looked into this years ago for non-flashlight-related reasons, and all the silicone products I looked at said they were intended for metal-to-nonmetal or nonmetal-to-nonmetal use only.
