RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] WD 40 compensating oil



Alan,

 

What is a vail?  One way plastic bottle? Till now I have good result with WD40 and plastics.

 

New material:

Somebody ever considered Silicone DOT 5 brake fluid as used on motorbikes? Yes, DOT4 is aggressive for paint etc. DOT 5 not and is thin as water.

First drawback is that it is expensive..

 

Emile

Onderwerp: [PSUBS-MAILIST] WD 40 compensating oil

 

Hi all,

I was experimenting with various organic oils & WD 40

for oil compensating my motors & linear actuators.

I had a number of differant oils in small plastic vials

& was mixing them with water to see how it separated out.

Just found that after a couple of months the vial with the

WD 40 in it went soft, cracked & leaked. Can't tell you

what the plastic was but its got me looking for alternatives.
