i'm glad it works on your watch,really chuffed.....how much is it?

Christ - Ive just removed the Abbey silicone cloths from my pistol cases. Will use a plain cloth sprayed with some Napier gun oil in future.

[greenman]

The watch example was simply an example of the products lubricity and i should say resilience to attack from detergents.Funny but i even use it as a lube and general wipe on my air rifles and firearms.Use it on tools in locations where it would perhaps if it kicks off cost me my life.I trust it,good product....dear! x

There should be a sticky about this subject,a mention about potential damage wouldn't hurt in the mags either,i cant imagine why 'Abbey' etc are still selling this stuff,have they no qualms at all?
Ben Taylor did state last week that he'd contacted them about the dangers and had no joy
Makes you wonder.

Yes it makes you wonder why

Perhaps they told Ben to read the instructions

I was told to use small amounts of silicone grease, applied to o rings and air fittings. This seems to be the safest way to keep o rings soft and not to cause desiling (explosions with HPA) Has this all changed now? Thank You and please reply!

Cheers Mates,

Who told you that HPA can explodewhat a buffoon.Air heats up when compressed NOT when expandingthe release of air from a cylinder through a firing valve is actaully cooling.Feel the cylinder after a few quick shots.
No my friend Air does not explode when released from a PCP airgun. for O rings you simply massage them with the smallest amount of silicone Grease.For pistons and such like the Molyslide is the best option,just stay away from silicone on places that actaully interact with each other,during the cocking and firing cycle of an airgun.

What are you ranting about walrus? hpa CAN explode, you should know that. I don't know where you got the idea he was saying it could explode when firing. I think you need to read his post again

[bassmanrich]

quite scary reading this. Personally i have always been a bit careful, only using silicone oil on co2 guns and ssps. Iv heard if the silicone oil gets into a pcp chamber it can explode....anyway, i jusy wipe my gun down with an old fashioned gun oil, and place a small drop of pellgun oil on the piston rob of my SSP, and its been fine. Sorry to hear about ur gun, u must have been gutted.

Hi, I've worked for a number of car manufacturing companies and all have banned silicone sprays for many years as once in the air streams it will contaminate paintwork causing difficulties in any paint repairs / retouching.

Beware silicone.

This is a old thread and I think that it got people worrying about the lube that they were using, It was uninformed info from people making wild claims about misused and type of silicone oil.

It got people thinking that any grease or oil with silicone in it like SM was harmful to their guns and this is not so,
one example is Terry Robbs moly SM high pressure grease, although I dont know what is in it, it is called SM and is perhaps the best airgun grease there is and has been going for decades without any problems.

I think that the more reliable info we have about lubes the better
