Applying dry ptfe spray to pole?
« on: November 24, 2014, 04:56:22 pm »
Do you just spray it on as evenly as possible, or do you wipe it over with a cloth after? Or just pray direct to a cloth and rub on the pole sections?

Spray a thin even layer directly onto the pole and allow to dry.  That's it.

Is this stuff any good Alex?

http://www.screwfix.com/p/wd-40-dry-ptfe-lubricant-400ml/36613?kpid=36613&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&kpid=36613&cm_mmc=Google-_-Shopping%20-%20Mixed-_-Shopping%20-%20Mixed&gclid=CJfZ1471k8ICFQrpwgodL10AQg

It is the correct type of stuff, but I bought a can a short while ago to test and it is not very good. It does not apply enough PTFE film and seems not to dry out properly.

We sell the correct dry-film PTFE if you cannot find it elsewhere - http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/ptfe-spray-400-ml.html

or something like this:http://www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/6150009520-dry-ptfe-lube-fg/?gclid=CMOCncr3k8ICFe3LtAodO1YAyA#product_tabs_tech_dimensions

As long as it applies a visible white layer and flash dries within one minute any dry PTFE spray should be fine to use (just not the WD-40 one!).
