Why is Zap! Lube better than Graphite or Teflon powders?

To answer this question we need to touch on Friction - There are three types of friction: static friction, kinetic friction and rolling friction. Friction can be viewed as a type of resistance. Kinetic fiction is the type of friction that occurs when two surfaces rub together such as a wheel and an axle. The friction is formed by the small peaks of one surface plowing into the surface/peaks of the other surface. Even highly polished surfaces are rough at the microscopic level. This friction is similar to rubbing two piece of sand paper together. Zap! Lube's microscopic spheres coat the sliding surfaces. Thus, the friction is minimized because the two surfaces no longer come in contact with each other. Instead the surfaces now glide across each other on a thin layer of Zap! Lube. This is one of the reasons why powder lubricants are less desirable. They simply can't keep the surfaces from plowing into each other after multiple races. What occurs is powder starts to wear off and fall off the parts that it should be protecting/coating. Especially when there is a load on surfaces, such as during a race. Powder lubricants work well when there is no load on the surfaces (i.e. simply spinning a wheel with no applied weight).

For the woods and synthetics I glue up, I find the satelite city cures better and stronger, I only have anecdotal evidence though. It could be the accelerator brands that I use are better matched with the hotstuff CA's. I like the prices and the convenience of amazon prime shipping but the last two orders have been for HS.

It's a matter of preference.I like the application process of Drione.It's a powder and can reach places liquids can't.Basically ...the powder sticks to insects when they walk through it. It ruptures (cuts) the exoskeleton of insects and they dehydrate rather quickly.

The Tanda Power Zap relies on blue light and vibration, while the Zeno Hot Spot uses heat. In my experience with both, the Zeno is more effective and works more quickly. I should add that I'm not dealing with cystic acne but rather with adult acne that occurs a few times a month. For me the Zeno device has been a godsend.

its more of a jelly or grease than a paste. similar to clear-ish petroleum grease

Yes anti seize lubricant is good. It acts like a shield around the threads against carbon built up. Very much easier to remove the plugs later.

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

the zinc because they are denser penetrate deeper and the zinc does not ruin the rifling over time and if you have a fast enough pellet/bb or bb gun the zincs work better for hunting and they tend to expand just slightly instead of ricochet which again makes them better for hunting and makes them safer.

Tri Flow is not a teflon spray, it's lubricant with teflon in it, so it's apples and oranges, different, but I can't say better . I use Tri Flow on my chain and to lubricate my cables in their housings. I also like the size of the container, because it's easy to carry around. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm an HVAC worker and it welds plumbing solder great, but it doesn't get as hot as a turbo torch and wont braze silfoss to refrigerant lines, even with map gas. Your correct about the miss print map is hotter than propane.

Friction. Differences are minuscule though (1.3W between best & worst tested see link below) - a good chain lube can provide 9+ watts... to help provide perspective.All you ever wanted to know here: http://www.friction-facts.com/test-results/individual-reports/derailleur-pulley-efficiency-test

Hi Vernon, The product is designed to reduce friction on cold start up in order to prolong engine life. When one first starts their engine after sitting overnight most of the oil is in the sump (oil pan). It is not pressurized for a split second. This is when an estimated 60% -70% of internal engine wear takes place. The Liquid Moly clings to the upper bearing surfaces and piston cylinder walls more so than regular engine oil due to it's composition. This product is widely used by BMW Dealers in their vehicles. Most benefit in my opinion occurs on an engine at around 10000 -15000 miles on the odometer. Why? Because the engine has started developing it's internal wear patterns. Microscopic scratches are 'filled in' with the super slippery ceramic coating thus reducing heat and friction at those contact points. The product is drawn to high heat friction areas by molecular attraction. - I am an advocate of allowing new engine bearings and friction surfcaes to 'seat in' (old school). In short in my pinion, and I am sure many will disagree, I would wait until you have around 10K to 15K miles on your new vehcile. Does the product work? Yes. - Please also read my review on 'FriktionTek' which I am convinced is a better option for a higher mileage engine (70K to 100K miles). But it is very pricy at $179.00 per tube on Amazon. I have used both. On your new engine, I would wait until all the bearings, valves and pistons have seated in first.

I use this on my rc planes. It is head and shoulders above any hobby epoxy. Resistant ? most certainly. Proof ? I wouldn't suggest soaking it in a vat of glow fuel. If used on the fire wall, cover in a little dope if you need more assurance. T-88"s sister product "Gel Magic" is one notch better because it is thixotropic. You can glob it on a vertical surface and it won't run off. Both are excellent epoxy's though in my opinion. The area around proper glue joint will fail before the T-88 lets go.

If I were going to do this, I wouldn't use Liquid Nails. Instead, I would look for Loctite PL Premium and use that.

Chamber Lube is a silicon product and is not recommended for use in pneumatics: what you might think to use instead is Pellgun oil...or any non detergent 30W oil

Water based lubricant is preferable because it is safe to use with any sex toy. It won't break down the plastics in your toys like silicone lubricant can
