Lubricants and solvents for metal hardware maintenance on sleds
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- ACF-50 is an aerosol penetrating lubricant that also functions as a corrosion inhibitor and surface protector
- Ballistol is a multipurpose lubricant originally developed as a weapon oil that can be used for metal preservation, rust prevention, and lubrication without becoming sticky
- Ballistol is available through weapon shops in Germany and can be ordered online
Depends on
- The original inquiry mentioned sticky thumblocks on an Ultra sled but no solution was confirmed as tested on that specific model
- Ballistol recommendation presented as opinion rather than systematic comparison with alternatives
