A call to CPF'ers in the UK!

Englander · Apr 11, 2006

Anyone know where I can get some Nyogel from locally in the UK? I havent got a clue where to start looking? i doubt B&Q has any?

Im thinking 759G for the threads, mainly a clickie repair on a U2, and possibly some 779ZC for the O-rings?

Id get it shipped, but id like to get my U2 fully fixed (if possible) before my camping trip in a couple days, shipping wont make it in time.

Wisdom appreciated as always.

Craig.

Greetings from the Wess Vinglun!
If you go to a camping shop you'll find little tubes of o-ring lubricant for Katadyn water filters.
I know Snow & Rock do them - maybe Black's do too.

Hi Craig,

I'm not aware of any in the UK.
Halfords in the bike section do Silicon spray called GT85 and is awesome (red & black can £3 something).
They use for lubing bike chains and the like. Works ultra smooth on threads.
Progold is the best for switches and threads too IMHO.

PM sent shortly with further details.

You're welcome to contact me for the details of where I purchased it in the UK although I doubt you'll be able to get it delivered in time.

I found this site.

give them a ring, if they post it first class, you might get it the next day.

ps. strange it says not to use silicon lubricant on silicon oring`s

regards.

I just ordered mine from LightHound

Took 3 days to get to UK :rock:

(I appreciate that this won't fix you up for your trip)

Well thanks to Dreamscape ive managed to breath some life back into the U2 clicky, it was working perfect after the lube was applied, but after a hundred clicks or so, its starting to return to its previous habbits, it does still work though, more so than it did before, and should last out the camping trip.Thanks again Colin!

Got mine from lighthound too- but I'm running low so would be interested about a UK supplier.

A Pleasure Craig

Nice to meet up with another CPF'er.
The Progold seemed to do the trick for a while then.
I do hope the replacement switch sorts the issue out!

Hope you had a great camping trip and the U2 held up

Take it Easy...
