Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 15, 2013 Oil is not thread lube. The best I have found is from Puritan, Ceroxylon wax. Lubes the thread great then dries &sets and seals the stitches.I first thought $65 a gallon was high but after useing it worth it to me. don't gum things up. Which machines do you use Ceroxylon with?

pcox Report post Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Wiz I use it in the puritan high speed , singer 29 patcher, and when we make bio harness the Landis# 1 and cb4500. I think it really helps the thread pull up in the bio, takes less tension to set the stitch. I think it would be great in the 45x25. I like the purtian setup where the wax pot is after the tenison disk Edited June 15, 2013 by pcox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pcox Report post Posted June 15, 2013 I have not had any of those problems with it. It will dry on the thread down the thread path from the pot if it sets over night making the thread stiff. I just pull that thread out of the needle till I get fresh lube to the needle. I have not had it thicken in the pot yet so I haven't tried to thin it but I think it is water soluble as it washes off my hands easily with plain water. there # 1-860-693-0791 or puritan.industries@snet.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Bonnys Locker Report post Posted June 19, 2013 A couple of 45's I've played with have a small problem with the tension assembly. Keep in mind that the 45k tension is completely different to most other machines in that the thread is wrapped around the tension wheel which spins to feed the thread and the tension spring retards the motion of the wheel. Pull the tension apart, polish all of the mating surfaces with ultra fine steel wool and then apply a light coat of oil before reassembling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
