SuperLube - found a good place locally

[LewisM]

If anyone is hunting down the elusive and much-vaunted SuperLube for their gear, MekTronics in Sydney sell it.

I got a tube for $20 POSTED ($11 postage), and this seems a better price than many other sellers.

They also sell a LOT of other difficult to find items/chemicals, so chekc them out. They were by FAR the cheapest place I found to buy Kimwipe Delicate Task Wipers (lint free tissue for lens cleaning).

thx Lewis, need some lint free tissues.

Good find! :thumbsup: Next door for me. :) Used to order this stuff from the US.
And I have Kimwipes on my shelf as well next to the lube. :lol:

PS: For the worms that are somehow exposed to the weather I reckon the best is the MP-50 moly paste (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=MP-50+moly+paste&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=TFDzqUACOy_F1M%253A%252C7QqnVHy nurONSM%252C_&usg=__y3VxdV4SU4Oz8dcMzTRu14kKTDI%3 D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5stTZ-7vcAhVDQLwKHZQxC9IQ9QEIVDAF#imgrc=T FDzqUACOy_F1M:). It's black and sticky so very messy.
I got a can from the US as well. It's a bit thicker and doesn't turn with water like the super lube. Super lube is great for bearings and small parts.

Another option to try for superlube - check out your local locksmiths. That's where I got mine from. Can't remember the price though, but it didn't seem too expensive at the time.

Just ordered ferric chloride enchant too - making my own brass data/name plates.

I'm always confused by lubricants. At Losmandy they use moly paste, but it's so expensive that I have no idea what a suitable replacement would be or even how different lubes are specified. Operating Temp? Viscosity? pH?

So I'm looking at that shop and there are pages of super lube products. [shrug]
