silicon oil = silicon lube?
I know its probably not the same thing but the guys at canadian tire said they are. Could someone tell me if they are the same? and if not where i can find some.

No they're not.
Silicon lube contains a high solvent level and it'll kill your rubber parts. |

Seeing as this post concerned me (because "silicone greaseless lubricant" is what's in my toolkit) I checked the can.. and on it, it specifically states "Lubricant applications: wood, glass, plastic, aluminum, rubber, and nylon." So I guess my comment is: why would they put rubber right on the label if it degrades rubber?

I belive Amos is talking about the typical spray can of silicon folks grab from Canadian tire.
There are other places than airsoft to find pure silicon grease and oil but if you aren't sure you should stick with a brand name.

You can also go to an RC shop and get light weight silicon shock oil... I can't exactly remember the numbers because for the last year I've been working off of the same bottles of AI oil...

That is shitty advertising then seeing how it says "safe on rubber". I'm not saying anything here other than that is shitty advertising. I've been using that lube

i was watching the noob gun maintanance video where the guy lubricates his barrel and his mid/low cap spring mag. How do we lubricate high caps? small spray at BB release and where the BBs come out?
I just logged on JOCairsoft ( calgary airsoft community site) and asked them where i can find some in city. I hope i get a reply soon. |

... I haven't owned enough highcaps to know... but I don't think you really need to lubricate highcaps, they don't run on the same compressed spring/follower system that non-highcap mags run on.

So the 3-1 is no good I guess? MSDS doesn't lie? Advertising does?

Interesting, I always thought it was a bad idea to put lube down ones barrel.

Only time I use a drop or two of lube in a barrel is to clean it, but it is immediately followed with 2 clean and dry squares of cloth to remove any signs of lube and dirt. |

Btw, silicone is what greases, lubes sealant etc are made of... Silicon is what your cpu etc are made of.
