Flowable silicone

[CarlG]

Would flowable silicone make a viable cube lubricant?

e-yup, have this stuff lying around from yoyoing


(we use it for response systems, to make it come up as needed.)

Try it and tell us

That says sealant on in, meaning it's for sealing gaps. I wouldn't recommend it.

Silicone has so many purposes. That looks like an adhesive, not a lubricant.

When exposed to moisture, this will polymerize. At that point, it will produce butanone oxime vapor, which is slightly toxic. It's also slightly irritating to skin. I wouldn't use it.

You could, however, I highly recommend Maru Lube or lubix if you can wait for it.
Local competitions usually sell it, or you could order it from the internet

Thanks guys! ill just order some lube when i get back from my vacation.

 

[Ltsurge]

on that topic would maru be better than lubix? (value for money etc)

Lubricant, you say?
Flowable silicone being the best response system due to its remarkable performance in providing friction without interfering with string play, obviously it would yield the opposite result if you try to use it as a lubricant.
