Title: British lube
Post by: FerretBuster on Wed, 23 July 2014, 17:05:32

Hey guys, haven't posted on GH in a loooooooong time.

Like 2 years maybe.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you know where I can get some lube for costar stabilizers in the UK. I checked out ripster's lube guide, and I checked out his recommendation - which I can probably purchase from some bike websites, but i'd prefer to use amazon or similar.

Can anyone recommend me anything?

Cheers.

I've been using this stuff, works fine on the stabs, not sure what it would do to the insides of a switch though.

Was literally just looking at that stuff, packet scared me off a little. How long have you been using it on your board, no signs of it messing with your kb's plastic?
Thanks.

Amazon said I bought it in August, so it's probably been on my boards for a year or so. I've seen no signs of any trouble on the plastics and the stabs are still smooth as the day I put the stuff on.
