Lubricating Odys

[sedge]

Instead of using petroleum jelly (Vaseline) has anyone tried food grade silicon thread lubricant? Its safe for contact with food and used on food processing machinery? I use it on my meat slicer and grinder.

Here's what I use:
Food Grade O Ring lubricant - Avid Vaper

Sounds like it might be the same thing.

Will eliquid work as a lubricant?

Well, it's slippery for sure, may work in a pinch as a temporary last resort for o-rings maybe, but over time its gonna stiffen up, also I would guess it does'nt have the best electrical properties. May not even allow the GGTS to operate. Personally I would'nt even try it except as an emergency last resort. This is just my uneducted opinion, TIFWIW.

Can't do no harm I guess.
I prefer plain old Petroleum jelly myself.

I picked some up at Lowes and it works as intended.....
