I found the ingredients on Jig-A-Loo's site, and don't see anything in it's constituent parts that would act as a protectant. Their Material Safety Data Sheet does call it a lubricant, but how they have arrived at that conclusion, I don't know. It contains four ingredients, per their data sheet: • methylene chloride ~ 30-60%, non-flammable ~ a solvent for cellulose, used for degreasing and as cleaning fluids. Sometimes used as an inhalation anesthetic. • perchloroethylene ~ 10-30%, non-flammable ~ a solvent for fats, oils, waxes, Used for dry-cleaning, degreasing metals, a solvent. In veterinary use, a worm killer (a vermifuge or anthelmintic.) • isobutane ~ 7-13%, a flammable liquid used in disposable lighters. • propane ~ 5-10%, flammable ~ a fuel gas, a refrigerant. Does anybody see a practical lubricant here? Anything even remotely slippery or greasy or friction reducing? How about a material that might feasibly cover a material with an oxidation resistant coating? I've read their ads, but I just don't see how it might work. keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
