Grease Selection HELP!

[Chojin Man]

I just picked up some "Marine Corrosion Control and Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease" at Home Depot. The can says that it is "Recommended for corrosive marine applications- trailer wheel bearings, water pumps, hinges, pins, winches."

It also has some other info on it:
N.L.G.I. #2(NLGI GC-LB) (ASTM D-4950)
BASE TYPE: Calcium sulfonate complex

It was a choice to get the marine grease a silicone grease or a white grease. Did I make the right choice? Is this going to mess up my marked if I use it on it? What the heck does "N.L.G.I. #2(NLGI GC-LB) (ASTM D-4950)" mean?

Is there another type of grease that would be better?

What are you using it on? If you are using it on the regulator spring pack for your mag, it should be fine. Anywhere else... NO!

What kind of gun you using it on? If it's an Angel or something, you want to use DOW 33.

[magman007]

the only "grease" that should be used on any gun is dow 33 grease or "shocker lube"


thats it!



what you want for your marker is Oil. your local shop will have some, gold cup works, but the best is kc trouble free oul

yes its for the spring pack only. Does anyone know where i can get some DOW 33? Is that a weight of grease or a brand?

[Chojin Man]

oh and its for the ReTro valve on my mag

[sneakyhacker420]

the best thing for the spring pack is white lithium grease

and dow33 isnt thick enough to last on the spring pack



edit: for the retro springs, only apply a THIN coating of white lithium grease

too much grease and it starts going anal

People... the only thing the grease does on the spring pack is keep it from rusting. Any nice thick Grease will do.
