Good Cable Lube?
« on: April 25, 2008, 10:17:59 AM »
Whats a good cable lube that you guys use?  going to start grabbing some supplies for the summer and was wondering if you all knew about a really good one.  I just use whatever Canadian Tire has to offer at the time :P

I actually like a graphite powder, Problem is I don't know where to get it anymore. I used to get it from a locksmith.  Where it is a dry powder it does not trap dust and grit and won't thicken like oils. It may corrode wet aluminum so be carefull where you use it.

You can get it at Canadian Tire. It comes in a little tube.

You're going to have to ask them where it's shelved. It's been so long since I purchased any (a little goes a long way) but I do know they still carry it because allot of fellow Scouters use it during Kub Kar and Scout Truck races to lubricate their wheels.

Let me know if you have problems getting any, I've got some extra fine that I acquired for a machine shop many many years ago and can give you some.

Just called a store in Halifax (Clayton Park) and they have plenty. If you wish I can pick you up a tube and we'll figure out how to get it to yah later but I'm thinkin Brookfield or Truro.

think I will go in again and see what I can find myself.  If I have no luck I might take you up on that offer.  I travel to halifax on a requral basis, so I think we should be able to meet somewhere on the way :)
