CRCDry Graphite Lube 03094 – 10 Wt. Oz, Dry Film Lubricant

Firstly, electricity flows through graphite, so this is not durable for things like pressure switches (lithium grease is great for lubrication near electronics).Secondly, graphite makes a big mess, so it lasts a long time, but it’s not ideal to use it just anywhere.This is my lubricant of choice on my reel mower blade. Cuts quieter and better and reduces the chances of anything clinging to the blade or bed knife.Graphite is also my lubricant of choice for locks.

We'll see how long it past, but initial impressions are very good. We have a rack in our oven that has rollers so it can be pulled part way out and pushed back it. The rollers were sticking so it wouldn't move. A couple of small sprays of this and suddenly it works like new. I can slide it in and out with one finger. Since it's good up to 850°F it should work well for a long time.

It is a great product. It works like it should. Saw dust does not seem to stick to it. I will buy it again when this can is empty

I use this on threaded copper pipe fittings that need to be screwed and unscrewed repeatedly. With a lot of care, I can spray and twist and wait to dry and repeat until an entire set of threads is a uniform graphite black. The coating is quite durable, and won't come off without vigorous scrubbing with an alcohol-soaked rag (water doesn't do much). All of this is very positive. It's a pain in the butt to do though, firstly because the solids content is low (so you have to spray repeatedly to get a good coating), and secondly (most importantly) because the can DOES NOT COME WITH A STRAW! Nor can it fit a straw from another aerosol can. So in addition to getting a wonderful coating of graphite on the threads, it also goes on my hands, the table, other parts of the pipe, etc.Given that it is such a pain to apply, why four stars? All the other graphite coatings I have tried are worse. Slide-rite graphite lube is kind of greasy when it dries and doesn't stay on as well. Slip Plate Black Ice is real crap. Even after shaking vigorously for several minutes, the can still sprays mostly lubricant for several sprays. Then, it re-dissolves any previous layers, which means the place you spray it on becomes free and clear of any graphite. And, it wipes of cleanly with a dry rag after it dries (whereas CRC requires an alcohol solvent to remove). So, Slip Plate lacks any durability at all.If anyone from CRC is reading this, I would give your product 5 stars if you would make it less messy to apply!

I use it on the ball screws on my CNC. Best product I’ve found for them. No worries about duct sticking to it. As a prime member it was supposed to arrive in 2 days but got an email stating it was running late. The delivery time was pushed 4 times ended up taking over 5 months to arrive. This does not change how well the product works. It just shows how little Jeff Bezos cares about customer service.

I have a laser engraver. You can’t engrave shinny stuff. They sell a can of stuff designed to engrave shiny for like 100 bucks for the same sized can. I perchaded this graphite and the moly. So far I’m repairing my laser done this weekend in the meantime I coated a brute brass tremolo block and a piece of stainless. The moly after 5 coarse covered but seems translucent. I don’t have high hopes for the moly. . It gas kind of a black green color. The Graphite however after 3 quick coats completely covered it and dry to the touch. WARNING, I WARMED THE PIECES UP TO ALMOST 100 degrees. Otherwise it may run. When I get finished next week I’ll return to this with pictures. If it works which I have no doubt, this will end up costing 1/5th the other product.

It worked incredible to lube the shelves in my oven. The wire shelves in my expensive oven have never moved freely. I sprayed this on the guides in the oven and they slide like butter.

The product improved the patio door to glide better, but not to original condition, but was very helpful...I'd purchase it again. It's kind of messy during application. It needs a better form of controlling the graphite while spraying it on.
