Would anyone know what the clear grease is that Tippmann Industries uses on the moving parts behind the front cover?  I'd like to find some this weekend.  Thank you, thank you very much.

A good, quality, clear  sewing machine grease should work fine.  Any recommendations?  Thank you.

Why does it have to be clear? I haven't seen too many clear greases around (other than vaseline).

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Likely for the same reason people swear by sewing machine oil...

1. Don't understand lubricants

2. Marketing and Wives-tales

 

That said, clear oil has some benefits. Grease doesn't have the same problem of dripping down the presser foot though.

Tri-Flow was recommended on this forum by gottaknow some time back and now I use it on all my machine that has gears or need a no run lubricant.

I also use it on other bits that need a grease type lube and so far it has not disappointed me. I do not care if it is clear or blue, so long as it does what I want it to do.

Check out a food grade grease. It is used on food processing machinery and it is clear. I got some recently from Amazon for a stand mixer repair and was very happy with it.

Probably so you can't see it if it gets in the food!:lol:

Good idea, though.

The same black grease I use on my tractor, mower, chain saw, etc. works fine on my Boss, . . . has for almost 15 years.  When I don't have black, . . . the brown stuff fills the bill.
