So this won't actually come pre-mixed with 205? Also what is the reason to mix with 205 anyways?I think it is to give it a bit more viscosity and adherence.

is the 205 the same as white lithium?
One bottle should last several keyboards. So two bottles even more.
It's recommended to mix this 1:1 with the 205 grease. 7.5 mL of this with 7.5 mL of 205 gives you about 15 mL of lube. I would say it takes between 1-2 mL to lube an entire keyboard. You just want a thin layer on the lubed surfaces.
Use Victorinox Multi Tool Oil for lubing the springs.
UPDATE: The lube comes from the supplier in large bottles. Once I have enough orders to fill with one bottle, I will close the "1st batch" ordering, and invoice those orders. People can continue to place orders, and I will do more "batches" as needed.
Can you offer any assurances that you won't simply use these giant bottles of Krytox for lubed midget wrestling or building a giant Slip 'N Slide in your backyard?..Stop giving him ideas..

That's pretty offensive. I'm a midget, and I use krytox for slides. So what?
may i use this directly on my switches or i have to mix with other stuff?It can be used directly, but since it isn't very viscous it might not stick very well to certain parts of the switch. This is why it's advised to mix with GPL 205.
In for two! Couldn't have come at a better time.
Did you fill out the order form? I didn't see you on my spreadsheet.

Just in case, could you confirm that I am on it?

Yes, I have you down for 1 bottle. :)

Paid.
Can you confirm that you will use the address we used in the form, and not our paypal address?
Paid. Thanks for putting this together, Jdcarpe. :D
Yes, I'm sending everything to the address listed on the order form. I don't use Paypal for shipping labels. :)
I just placed an order with the form. I'll be sending the payment sometime today. Thanks for doing this GB, jdcarpe. :)
This is one smooth GB :pIts like it was a lubed GB or something... :))
Paid!
Some updates!
Well, today is the deadline for payments, and I only have one outstanding invoice remaining. Great job on the quick payments, everyone!
Luckily, the people who paid quickly allowed me to place the order for the lube early, and it arrived from DuPont at NetMercury today. They will ship it out to me this afternoon, and it should arrive sometime next week.
I already ordered all the small bottles for packaging, and received them yesterday. I also received the bubble mailers I ordered for shipping, so once the lube arrives, I will be able to start packaging it for shipment.
I plan on having all orders shipped no later than May 6th, except for those I have spoken with about combined shipping with other things. Apparently, I did a really good job estimating costs for everything, because it doesn't look like I'll be going out-of-pocket for any expenses, nor will I be making any money on this. I will be getting a couple of those bottles of lube for free, so thanks everyone for covering that for me. :)
Again, I want to thank everyone for making this group buy a success! :D
Awesome update. Thanks, jdcarpe! Now only if someone volunteers their soul to run a Korean spring group buy...
any extras? I missed this :(
These will ship this week. :)

Now that they're lubed up they might actually win something.received and added to arsenalShow Image(http://www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ArsenalFC1.png)
JD I'd be interested in any extras. If any are available after all the orders are mailed out.
Unfortunately, there doesn't look to be enough for any extras. I MIGHT be able to get another 1/2 oz. out of what's left in the bottle, but I think I'm just going to keep it. Spillage of drops when pouring into smaller containers accounts for some loss. Sorry for the disappointing news. :(
I might run another GB in a few months, though.
I spent 4 hours last night lubing 95 switches. They were already disassembled and stickered. I can't tell if that is an average pace or not, but either way, I've got another 95 to do sometime this week.
Geez, 4 hours is quick? What more do you women want!?

That's fairly quick imo :)
Edit - Did you lube the springs as well? If not, I guess that's not too quick lolGeez, 4 hours is quick? What more do you women want!?
ROFL!!
Received mine! I know this isn't the right place to ask but do you mix 1:1 with GPL 205 by volume or by weight?
Alright thanks. It looked like I had way more 205 by volume but yeah, on closer inspection, it looks about the same.Received mine! I know this isn't the right place to ask but do you mix 1:1 with GPL 205 by volume or by weight?
I mix by weight, but it's about the same either way.
i mixed by eyeball because i'm a pleb.

jd, any left overs? :D
jd, any left overs? :D
Unfortunately, no. I thought I might have a little left over after all the orders shipped, but I just had enough for my own bottle.
I may run another GB for it, but it won't be for a while. I have enough to lube several keyboards, and that was my motivation for running this GB. :)
is the mixture bad for skin? i got a blister on my thumb where i touched the liquid today. i am not sure it is caused by this grease.

Thanks for the info. I have some GPL-105, but I wanted to try the 103's.

I'll start doing group buys for 103 again in August and continue to do so on a regular basis if the demand is still there.
