Hi Robert, I never heard of pb blaster, I have an old can of liquid wrench that I used on occasions I used wd40 to protect my fishing reels. I do believe that the wd stands for water displacement. and the 40 was the fortieth formula. I also read somewhere that although wd40 is designed to protect from moisture it is not the best lubricant, I think that the article mentioned that it would work more like a cutting oil. So if used on ball bearings it could help wear them down. I will have to look around for that information, They say that the mind goes first and I do forget what is second. The heating and air condition engineer where I use to work made his own formula for motor bearings. I know he mixed a few drops of stp with #30 motor oil. He believed that the oil lubricated and the stp made it stick to the bearings. I never had any reason to try that concoction.

I'm not sure that try flow is as aggressive for loosening rusty old bolts but on the other hand as it is a Teflon based product I think it is less proned to collecting dust than other products like wd 40 or PB blaster. So it may be a better choice in some situations for lubricating but as a penatrent I still like PB Blaster. I think a lot of people don't stop to think about the difference between a penitrant and a lubricant. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2007 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] lubricant Well, I think it depends on what you want to lubricate. My favorite is Triflow. I use it on my grandson's bicycle chain because it is Teflon based and doesn't attract any dirt. For my tool surfaces I use a product called slippit. For the oven door I used white lithium grease. I also use silicon spray for door locks. I really don't think that there is truly an one stop product.
