RZ-50

[Eyes_Only]

Has anyone here tried out the lubricant RZ-50? It's a dry film lubricant that does not attract any moisture, dirt and doesn't stain fabric. I bought a small bottle from Home Depot and tried it on a few locks and it works pretty well. The propellant dries out fast so this lubricant actually does stay dry like it advertises.

Woo Woo Jig-A-Loo (just checking for ICP fans). Anyway I checked the true-value store and they didn't have any. Any idea of where to get it online.

Jig-A-Loo did sound like a good product until i read the MSDS

also on the first aid page,

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

i'm pretty sure graphite could cause cancer as well!!! You know, i use to do alot of caulking and i use to tool it with my finger and saliva !! Read the caulking tube CAUTION, see if you would lick it !!??

yes i believe graphite can also cause cancer.

i've not read the caution but i doubt i'd lick it anyway.

i've never read a MSDS before, made it sound a lot worse than it actually is.
i'm still going to stick to graphite though

Yeah, it seems everything under (and including) the sun will give you cancer these days but anyway, has anybody ever used isaprople (that could be spelt wrong ) you know, 99% alcohol? I havent tried it yet but it does evaporate fast leaving no resedue behind.


Just wondering cause I use it every day at work and it would be nothing to bring some home.

And yes i'm sure this will most likely cause cancer too but so does your microwave, tv, cell phone, smokes etc....

I think you mean Isopryl alcohol? It does evaporate very fast, I use it to clean the contacts of electronic components. Works well inside computers because you want everything clean but dry. I don't think it will make a good lubricant though because all of the alcohol evaporates, but I don't know anything about lubricants (I'm a lube noob).

Also I read a thing on some government website and it was a list of what caused cancer. EVERYTHING did, and I mean EVERYTHING, no matter how stupid it sounds, it causes cancer.

Just for laughs, could you post a link to that list?

As long as you ease off on the body spray and regularly wash your hands like you are supposed to, I think you'll be ok.

Sorry, I was thinking more of a cleaner than a lubricant.

On a similar note I've been known to use the girlfriend's nail polish remover to clean pins and springs. Granted this is always followed up by a good lubricant but I definitely prefer doing it all in one shot.

I use GT-85 to lubricate locks,
