Hi everyone,
I noticed that teflon was not listed in the lube faq. It can be purchased
at bicycle shops in an aerosol can or dropper for under 10 dollars. It is a
dry lubricant that is clear and doesn't attract dust. I used it with my
clock and was impressed with the results! Now here is my question I have
constructed an air compressor and the pneumatics squeek like mad. Someone
suggested vegetable oil, but I would like other options. Does anyone know
what lego used during assembly?
Thanks in advance Chris

I dunno. Does it still squeak even when the pumps are disconnected? I've
noticed with my compressors, the extra back pressure on the plunger causes more
squeaking, which disappears when pressure is released. I'm not even sure
whether it's the pump(s) or the crankshaft driving them.

Interesting, what brand did you use? I tried some of this from a spray can
(I can't remember the brand offhand) and it made things worse! Essentially
things seemed to get a lot more jittery; I found good way to test the
effectiveness was to apply some of the stuff between two 2x2 tiles and try
moving them about on each other. With the teflon spray it was definitely
more "sticky".

Hi Jennifer,
I have been a fan of you work for some time but never got around to
saying so! As far as lube goes I had the same problem that you described
but I experienced it with silicone spray. I wonder if it has something to
do with the propelent? Anyways I don't recall the name brand teflon I used
but I plan on purchasing more on Saturday, so untill then
Best regards Chris
