Any engineers or grease "experts" on at the moment?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79971648 Australia 01/23/2021 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Any engineers or grease "experts" on at the moment? I used a sheep shearing handpiece and have heard Molygrease might be the best because it works well in dusty conditions. The handpiece does warm up but only to about 100*F tops, but it does get covered in dust. Would the Molygrease be the best? [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] The red circled area does remain in the sheeps wool most of the time but it is also the area that hits the most dusty.

Marvel Mystery Oil is one of them. Smells good too. We aren't cut out to be socialists.We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe. We are the malcontents, idealists, speculators, dreamers, inventors, debtors and criminals who would not be chained. We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. let us do what we do best; let us be Americans.

Yes marvel mystery oil is very thin . any thin oil. You will have to clean and retreat after each use. Or as needed. If it were me i would get a can of automotive brake cleaner. Hose it down and recoat with 0w20.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79951296 United States 01/23/2021 10:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Any engineers or grease "experts" on at the moment? WD-40 300052 Specialist Dirt & Dust Resistant Dry Lube PTFE.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79971648 Trust me you do not want anything thick. It will cause hair to get gummed up in the teeth, then get hot and burn, and then before you know it the blade will dull quickly. You want something thin and organic. Also something with cling power. Been using sheers my whole life. Mineral oil is the way to go.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79971648 The properties of graphite are strong adhesion, very low CoF and very good as a sliding lubricant. Stable up to 900 degrees.

Aren't sheep already kinda greasy - oily? I like White lithium grease for most things. It stays put. [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] Last Edited by JustmeTX on 01/23/2021 10:59 PM Justme

It's good grade, since you will get it on the sheep's skin. :DOCSRBAFFLED::redblueLED::DONTBEAPANDEMICS: Only you can stop the fake pandemic for yourself, no one will ever tell you the pandemic is over.
