Don't know what section this should go in but I got a free sample in at work for a temporary lubricant for rubber. Now stop laughing. It's for use in assembly work of rubber or plastic. I used it to fit the rubber bushes in the wishbones, they pushed in just using my fingers. No vice or anything. Basically you can use it to fit anything rubber. O' rings, seal, gators. It's great. The stuff is called '*********' and the website is www.*****.com and 225ml free samples for industry can be got from here. It is more than enough.

It's like KY right?

LOL

In electronics, when fitting rubber sleeves to the ends of cables, you use sillicone oil.

Its not like KY AFAIK probably more like baby oil


I wonder if baby oil would work?

Works for me!!!

No it's not like KY, and not like the copper grease I stick up my kilt either Base, it's an emulsion and once it dries it leaves no residue unlike silicone products, KY or oily products. Its the business because it can be had for free.

FREE is always a good factor in consideration!


Using my rubber sleeves example, using WD40 instead of sillicone oil works well as WD40 does kinda lose slipperyness, in exactly the same way that sillicone does not.

Dont try WD40 in your other applications of lubricants, Chris, it will probably sting a lot!

I put a request in a few days back - and just got a phone call from the UK distributor!

A little bit of BS did the trick...

Used hairspray to fit my bushes into tubes - worked very well.

I've just had an answer phone message from Michael Fin of International Products. Is this them?

Any suggestions for a ficticious application?
Fitting rubber seals to space shuttle fuel tanks? Torpedo lubrication for russian submarines? Palm greaser for Politicians?

I've just had a call as well, Said I'm still evaluating it and that I'm using it to fit rubber gromits but I suppose I could've said fitting rubber seals to washing machines. Have any of you's got your samples yet? I got mine last week.

That poor guy has proably told his sales manager that he's got lotsa leads, and has booked his summer hols on the basis of all the business hes gonna get from you lot!

I got a nice brochure on rubber moldings care of work once. that was interesting wasnt it?


For fictitious applications, how about a chastity belt for Jordan (the model). Or a decent set of spanners for railtrack, or a lie detector for S. Byers.

Or a book about building a car for less than 250 quid! Its true, I have seen it! Honest!

I got the call aswell - apparently my sample is on the way.

Chris

Me too, when do you think he will twig?

Mine came yesterday (friday) but not had a chance to try it out yet 'cos I'm at work all weekend

Anyone else been sucesfull?

Chris

Got mine too, odd looking stuff, can't imagine I'll need it for a while, but I can't resist a freebie

Hey, Chris, did you get my photo ok?

Got the photo Jasper, will sort it Monday (at work all weekend )

Chris

Hi Blokes -

Just a couple of points :-

1: Dunc - what exactly does copper grease do for you, kiltwise?

2: Mr. Gusterson, you should know better! Lie detectors for S.Byers are unnecessary, because its easy to tell (his lips are moving).

3: Why aren't you all busy building/welding/rivetting or wiring?

Dick Axtell

i applied for some of that stuff too - not that i need it - just wanna know it can be done

I have has 2 calls so far from a pompos sounding guy, bu havnt answered em yet.

Use it today on rubber exhaust mountings on my Rover, excellent stuff, really made a difference, slipped in boutifully.....

I've ignored his messages. Has anyone received the sample without speaking to him?

I spoke to him, nice chap, didn't seem to care that I was never going to use Gallons of the stuff, and it arrived next day, no probs
