Evo160K Posted April 18, 2020 Report Posted April 18, 2020 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. Quote
Evo160K Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Posted April 18, 2020 A good, quality, clear sewing machine grease should work fine. Any recommendations? Thank you. Quote
Members Bert51 Posted April 18, 2020 Members Report Posted April 18, 2020 I use Tri-Flow grease. Bert. Quote

Members dikman Posted April 18, 2020 Members Report Posted April 18, 2020 Why does it have to be clear? I haven't seen too many clear greases around (other than vaseline).

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.

Members Bert51 Posted April 18, 2020 Members Report Posted April 18, 2020 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. Bert. Quote
JJN Posted April 18, 2020 Report Posted April 18, 2020 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.

Members Dwight Posted April 18, 2020 Members Report Posted April 18, 2020 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. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.
