Imeo says gazoline??

[Papa Hoyt]

OK I have read that he cleans his GGTS with gazoline or gasoline.

What gasoline does he use?

I kinda doubt that he is using 87 grade pump gas.

Does this not effect the o-rings??

I need a cleaner meaner GGTS until my SS GGTS Arrives.

Sorry this post was not posted from the bushes, i got word the mailman has retired for the day.

It's Vaseline. Petrolum jelly o lubricate the threads and o-rings.

 

[Papa Hoyt]

No not to lube to clean I use the vaseline but he say to clean he uses gazoline or gasoline.

 

[Merwin]

I believe he is referring to what is called white gas in the U.S.

Coleman lantern fuel would be an example of white gas.

I personally use a cheap ultrasonic cleaner with water and Dawn dish soap in it to clean my GG stuff.

Works great.

 

[zuTma]

As far as I know he use autosol metal polish...

 

[imeothanasis]

Hoyt, I used white gasoline in the past as merwin said because it cleans well the threads of the aluminium GG. I dont see a need for gasoline on the SSGG

 

[Papa Hoyt]

Yeah it is my aluminum GGTS I need to get real clean and the threads are the part giving me the trouble.

MY SS GGTS should be here today so I must take my place in my hidey hole in the budhes to ambush him today when he brings it.

Does the gas bother the o-rings? No I need to remove them?

Yeah Guys there is a difference in polishing vs cleaning and lubricating the threads is a must.

I just wanted to know what gasoline to use to clean the GGS real good. Needed something to get into all the nooks and crannys.

 

[imeothanasis]

you can use aceton, its good as gasoline, maybe even better.

Removing o-rings isnt a bad idea Hoy

 

[Papa Hoyt]

thank you Imeo, I will remove the o rings before I use gasoline, I figured it might be to much.

I guess the same goes for the delrin bushings too.

Also I gotz mah SS GGTS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[imeothanasis]

I am glad Hoy! Please tell me your opinion

 

[Ignitor]

Just bought my first GG the GGTB aluminum love it would isopropyl alcohol be alright to clean it? Thankyou.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

So I should use the wife's nail polish remover and not alcohol to clean the aluminum really well?

 

[imeothanasis]

aceton and white gasoline are the best for threads ripple.

Where are you lost buddy?!!

 

[RippleInStillWater]

I was on holiday in the Land of Desperation, Missouri!!!

 

[imeothanasis]

From corruption to desperation looks not a very good change Ripple. Welcome back to corruption buddy! xaxaxa

I am glad Hoy! Please tell me your opinion

In Short I love it.

In comparing it to my revision 2 GGTS I must say there are a lot of improvements.

Fisrt is the stainless steel, it is gorgeous!! I cant quit looking at it.

Second the button is about the best it can be. I like that you used hexagonal heads so it is easier to disassemble for cleaning.

Third is the top cap. I love that this is thicker now. it looks awesome and it is easier to grip and take off because there is more c ap to hold. You must make these lids in brass 801 for us. I have caps for my revision 2 GGTS but these are the thinner ones. I know they will work but the thickness of the cap makes it look so much more finished.

Fourth is the base cap. I like the way there is more metal there than before. It looks better and will last a very long time.

Fifth is the atty connector my old GGTS did not have the four notches and only 2 holes for airflow. This has 4 and the 510 notches. This connector fits 510 threads better than my last one. Maybe I need new connector in my old one to make it fit better.

All in All I am very impressed with the SS GGTS and will be keeping this for a long time.

A Job well done.
