button

I was a little lazy today to clean my button after 3 months of use so I dissasemble it and I put Noalox on the new brass spring. Then I assemble the button again and no misfires. It works like new of course but I want to see the results after some days and I will post again

Yeah...Ive always wanted to just do that, say screw the cleaning end of it and just slap some noalox on contact points.

Lemme know how it works out for ya.....

Hey is Rob going to be getting all those different springs like cloud9? I really should justget the magnet switch setup for my TS and GGT =)

Rob will very soon have the latest batch of brass springs for button and the magnets too Tim.

I tried this once and it just got all gummed up after a few days. It started sticking actually.

Good to know that Keith, nice info. I will see mine how it will go but it seems that I will have the same results

I did this once too - never again. Noalox is just fabulous for the threads on the main parts of the device. As for anything else? Just keep it clean. I prefer magnets in the button, but some people certainly prefer the springs and they are cheaper too.
Nice that everyone can customise the GG to their exact preferences isn't it?
Thanks Imeo.

for me the main reason i Love the GG line is i have a odd obsession with disassembling items and customizing them. about every two days i take apart my ggts and clean the threads then shine every inch. and see how fast i can reassemble it. i have found that putting the noalox in a syringe makes it much easer to apply the small amounts and not over do it. But yes as for adding it to the contact points it gunks up for me to much.

I've tried it as well but with magnets in the button.

I didn't use much noalox but it wasn't long before it started to stick.


On another sticky subject... I've had good results using an HB pencil on the pin in the atty cap. Runs smooth as butter

What do you use Obie? I didnt understand.

Remove the hex nut and pin, dry off and rub a soft pencil across the brass pin between the o rings.

Ah, I see what you've done there, you're using the graphite from the pencil as a lubricant. I might try this myself as the pin often gets jammed on mine and the only way I've found to unstick it is to strip it out and clean it thoroughly.

Wouldn't a 2B be better than HB as there's a higher amount of graphite and less clay in the mix?

Quite clever as graphite is an excellent lubricant.

VERY nice tip!!! Highly recommended.

I understand now Obie. Nice trick buddy!

We can put oil to the o-rings to keep them in good contition.

Better than any pencil: Get a bottle or spray can of "Lock-Ease". It's powdered graphite suspended in liquid. The liquid quickly evaporates leaving a thin graphite coating. Great lubricant to use on anything with small or intricate parts: Since it's a dry lubricant it doesn't attract dust or dirt and graphite also repels surface moisture. Using it in your car door locks helps keep them from freezing in cold weather.

I used to wor for a locksmith... I swear by the stuff...

Tried the same, same results. Now I just wipe the magnets with a soft paper tissue and they work like new again.
