Have you checked local mom and pop hardware stores?

[paintballkid11]

...yes??

[toolittletoolate]

I've seen tubes of it at Home Depot before so you may want to check there again. But if you've checked all your local places then looks like you'll just have to order it online. And it shouldn't take 2 weeks to get to you. Slowest shipping will go from coast to coast in 1 week.

Noice!! thanks minimike! and thanks toollittletoolate for helping =)

No Problem... They also have Dow 33 and a nice tubing cutter (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/ANDERSON-FITTINGS-Snip-Tube-Cutter-4HL89?Pid=search)for hoses. Cuts the hose nice and straight on macro line, cocker hoses, etc :D

[paintballkid11]

do they have cocker hose there minimike? im goin to go after school tomorrow.

[minimike]

I have never checked... They do sell tubing though. Looks like large rolls though...

AND before I forget again... Welcome to IOG. I'm new myself and this website has been very positive and helpful

Grainger is the way to go. If you have to have it shipped, they ship fast. I have one local to me. I put an order in on a Friday, got my corporate discount and got it on Monday.

[paintballkid11]

nice! i just ordered some kila eyecovers/+ extra 6 ball detends for my dragon. haha thanks minimike.. iv had a PBN account for awhile but i just made a iog account.

You mentioned getting hose from grainger, if you go that route you NEED to make sure the hose/tubing you buy can handle the pressure that's going to be running through it. LP hose I wouldn't use anything with an operating pressure lower than 100psi, burst pressure is supposed to be 2x the Op. pressure IIRC.

[minimike]

I agree with GOD. That is why I would buy it from the local paintball store, it's just easier

[paintballkid11]

alrighty... thanks guys

Hey guys... went to Grainger...didnt have it in stock so this guy recommended some other stuff thats way cheaper. its called "Seal-Lube. silicone based O-ring lubricant. it looks like oil but i put a drop on a random piece of paper and it turned out to be like creamy gel stuff.. its thick but its see through. Has anyone ever tryd this in there timmy?

I have only used Dow 55 because I believe it is the only one that swells o-rings.

Im sure very few if any have used it being that no one says buy it or Dow55. Personally with Grainger out, I would have PM'd Crankwalk. Sure it may take a little longer but your not talking to a guy that is out to make a sale on something you dont need.

If it doesn't swell the o-rings I won't use it.
On that note I've never seen it before.

[toolittletoolate]

I've never heard of that particular lube before. But as GOD states if it doesn't have that swelling property it wont work like dow 55.

Dow 55 - http://www.mcmaster.com/#1325k54/=9pjh4w

Funny thing, I was just looking at a tube of DOW 33 that I bought a hundred years ago... and noticed that there is a "use by date" stamped on it. date is 3/12/2008 :facepalm: Wonder if it breaks down :confused:
I bought DOW 55 from crankwalk not too long ago, it just made sense to buy enough for what I would need in the near future

[GOD]

IDK if it breaks down but I have seen some Sl33K separate with age, quick mix and it was good to go again.
