Thought PB blaster had some kind of corrosive stuff in it. Thought that’s how it attacks rust to free things up.
I checked the link out, not the same stuff as I was thinking of.
My personal opinion is that it doesn’t really matter what one uses as long as they clean and re-lube regularly. I doubt many (or any) who offer an opinion have done detail scientific research into the best lubricant. I personally go with what I have handy and within reach when I’m cleaning the threads.
Their penetrating oil does. Their silicone spray product does not, as far as I know. Not that I’m recommending it - I’ll probably pick up something thicker soon.
Thanks guys for all info. I do not regularly use vasaline so I think I am OK. Just used it once. But better safe than sorry. One of my lights is $380 range and definitely do not want to mess it up. Thinking of buying Fenix TK75 2018 and that bad boy will be $300 plus range so need some good lube.
US hardware retailers seem to have bigger ranges than Australian retailers, but the stuff I got from a big retailer here (for tap washers) was brownish rather than clear so I bought some online. It was easier to buy online than visit a specialist shop, and you only need a tiny amount.
I use silicon, either the paste, liquid or spray depending on what i want to put it on.
I used to use Vaseline on maglights as that was what was recommend dont know if it still is anyway i found it broke down the orings and certain plastic bits of the maglights over time
