Don't know if this counts as a Necro.

How about Silicone Lube for sealing/resealing the compression chamber on +bows or in spring type Nerf guns?

[Bomberman]

Nope. It's not a necro if it is a stickied topic. As for the lubes, you should be able to get them in a spray can at most hardware stores. Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc. Teflon tape works well too for re-sealing o-rings and such.

[Zudikas]

Brass in all sizes is found at Ace Hardware.

[pengynerfer]

does ACE carry PETG? Its the only hardware store nearby, and the nearest pet store is about 30 miles away. I don't really want to get brass, as it is more expensive.

PETG isn't typically carried in hardware stores, you usually have to either order it directly from the manufacturer, or buy it from somebody like OneManClan.

Or get really lucky and find it in the aquarium section of a pet supply store.

While people are answering questions, whats the best lube for O-rings and plunger chambers? Please don't just say O-ring lube, I can't find it.

Any help would be awsome!

[Kid Flash]

Silicon spray. Its a red spray container I believe in the car section at walmart.

[Galaxy613]

Silicone spray and/or gel work good.

Thought I'd let all the nerfers in the Brooklyn Park, MN area know that Hobby Town USA on the corner of Kentucky Ave and Brooklyn Boulevard sells brass tubing in 12" sections. 17/32" is $2.79.

[Shrub]

Where do you get PETG without buying the $100 ones that come with '500?

help would appreciated!

[Ubermensch]

You buy it from OMC.

[kdizzle1533]

Springs are the most challenging things for me to find. The ones I found that are big enough would take the hulk to compress. If you don't want to order online, oddly enough I've found a wide selection of springs at the flea market.

[Z4]

Loghomestore.com sells white foam backer rod. They're the only place that sells it that I know of, and a simple search would have told you that.

I have a question. Where can you find cpvc. I've looked at lowe's but they don't have it, only pvc. I haven't had a chance to go to home depot but i heard they had it. Is that true?

[123caviler]

So, I just found some schedule 80 PVC. I didn't buy it because it costed so damn much. I believe the price was 3.99 for about a foot of it! I am not completely sure that I checked the right tag, but is this normal?

[CaptainSlug]

but is this normal?

No. $3 for 5 feet is more normal.

[123caviler]

Thanks, I'll ask them about it.

Get it from OMC, not McMaster.

Here's his sales thread:

[Shrub]

Yes. But why not get it from OMC? Now brass is really good and they sell it in packs of 4,3,2 depending on size.

My parents won't let me buy it from him and I'm using PETG over brass because 12 feet of brass is to expensive.
