Silicone Spray

[Cr0-Magnon]

Apart from price, is there any difference between something like this and the ones which are marketed as airsoft specific? (Abbey, Nuprol etc)

I use one from my work that we use for lubricating door hinges and window gearboxes and it works fine.

Not had any problems with it

I use cheap as chips conveyor belt silicone oil.  Unbranded stuff in a plain bottle.  

Nothing has caught fire, exploded or shredded itself to pieces in the years I've used it.

If you watch any of Negative Airsofts vids you'll see that very can make an appearance. Personally I use the WD40 specialist sprays but that just because I'm a brand whore with more money than sense.

Yeah, I think that would be fine to use.

(I'll probably get some next time I need)

Nice! Electronics or window fitting?

 

[strykerles]

Window fitting, van is useful for gamedays too

Not noticed a huge difference between the strays, however there's was a big difference in the quality of thicker silicon grease I tried.  Nothing came close to Super Lube silicone grease.  Not sure what they put in it - almost evil stuff!  Probably a little overkill for Airsoft.

I did buy 2 x cans of this. As suspected the consistency seems the same and it's certainly far better value at £4 for 500ml compared to £6 for 150ml of the Abbey stuff. My only slight issue with it, is Cassandra's Dad (Only Fools & Horses, dodgy mobile phone scene) would describe it as "A bit urgent"

It rushes out and causes a foamy puddle (don't be filthy!).
