    Lubricant

    Anyone used this product? If so, any comments on its performance. Comparisons with other similar products?

      Says you can use it on shoes. Sounds a bit dangerous. Haven't tried it yet, but I will, but not on my shoes.

        I believe this is a silicone-based lubricant, so you'd want to keep it away from things that'll contact wood you'll be finishing.

          I've used it on hinges, locks, sliding doors, uh--there must be something else but it doesn't come to mind at the moment. In my experience, it does a great job.

            Stay Away from it!

            Guys, I don't want to be an alarmist, but it sounds like a Silicon Lubricant!

            You don't want to get it any where near your Saw, If it IS a Silicone Lubricant, It will REPEL your finishes as well as water, plus it creeps and crawls all over the place, so there is no "safe" place to use it on your Saw.
            And yes it will move UP against the Law of gravity.

            Silicones Lubricant and Woodworking do NOT play nice together!
            Stop thinking why you can't and Start thinking how you CAN!

              Jigaloo: no silicone but probably not a good lube either

              No silicones per website and MSDS sheet
              Contains: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, isobutane, and propane
              approx 50%, 30%, 10%, 10% in that order.
              Can't really see that its that good of a lubricant for that matter.
              mostly chlorinated hydrocarbons. the Isobutane and propane probably propellants and become gaseous on leaving the can. Where's the lube? Sounds like only solvents left. Probably a lousy long term lubricant, but does work by dissolving and redistributing dried up oils and grease.

              If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                I've only been using it for a few months so I can't talk really long term but it has taken some pretty balky mechanisms and made them work slick enough for me. I am somewhat relieved that you guys won't be monitoring it's price and posting bargain alerts to take it off the store shelves when I need to buy more.
