#355562 (survey) Lubing areas?

Posted by RetaliationXL on 16 August 2016 - 08:33 AM in Modifications

I have a qestion about types of lubes. Wich is better for sealing? And wich is for moving parts?

I still do use white lithium grease for all. Usually White lithium or silicone is just fine for all nerf lubricanting application.
Some people might adding silicone oil while lubed by si.grease for plunger sealing if the o ring seal is quite tight.Because white lithium wear off more quicker but more slippery.

Different ways have pro and cons:

Lube all moving surfaces:
-Minimal/no wears(even plastic to plastic contact point do wears due to friction)
-messy and dust trapping

Sealing areas only:
-less messy
-less dust traps
-plastic area wears(i.e bolt sled guiding rails)

So I want to see that which option mostly users maintaining currently

As we know every different user hv their preferences or habits...so,for my own benefits And even others...I hope to make a survey from community abt how they lube their blasters,I means where they lube...Ie,I personally prefer to lube all the moving parts like the shells and even lots on the bolt sleds cntact surfaces and others high moving parts, for some others they only lube sealing points. Thankyou

The grease is probably reacting with whatever they made the padding from (probably silicone). To be safe I'd wipe it off and replace it with silicone grease to see if that fixes it.

usually WLgrease is fine to use right? The colours mostly is from plunger tube, so I think no problem with the padding? But the tube dont hv any fades or Visible corrosion

#355273 EAT OMW need air seal?

Yes you will need the tape. I found it helped by 10 extra feet.

Thanks,will make a try on next maintainance

#355271 EAT OMW need air seal?

Do we need to use some teflon tape to wrap around the plunger rod head to improve the air seal? Because I founs that the OMW plunger rod is abit undersize which air is escaping when testing...so is it necessary to improve the seal? Or it wont affect much on performance n not so necessary? Thanks!

My question is when I lube my blaster...I found that the plunger padding(by worker )which is milky translucent in colour but turned abit orange in colour,which I suspect the stains is from the plunger's tube plastic....and I found that the remaining WL.greases(OMW) on the rod do have abit of orange staining...this make me worry is it corrode my plunger? Or mild discoloration is just fine? Thanks
