Copper Grease

[Saint Peter]

I get the stuff at the counter of the auto parts store. It is the size of a package of ketchup.

Plenty to do a couple of jobs. Clean and fresh. No asbestos aftertaste.

I have a hole where one once was.......

You mean you can't listen to Rush Limbaugh?

Not an option, because transformers only work with AC.

Plenty of 24 to 12 volt power converters out there on the market. A good mechanic is never stymied by proper terminology. Now pass the whachamacallit so I can can do-up the thingamabob.

I'm not that interested in what Rush has to say.

I've got a 35 year old can that says CAT on the side of it. It works.

They also have a Mariner's Choice version that's good in constant wet locations.
I use the Pure Nickel on diesel injectors and other really high temp places.

I use Never Seez on most fasteners that might rust, lug nuts, spark plug threads, etc.
Just keep in mind that most torque specs are for dry threads and using a lubricant/anti-seize means you need to reduce the torque value.

If you get that shit on the brake pads they're fucked.

Yeah, but you should put it on the back and the little hook doodads where it sits in the calliper.

Granted, but I've used that stuff and it tends to get in places you don't want it to be. I remember getting it on my hands once and had to wait for it to wear off.

I used it to keep exhaust fan squirrel cages from getting stuck on the shaft of its motor.

Don't be surprised if you end up with a transformer when you need a DC voltage converter.

Not a chance....

Then whomever you say "I would like a transformer" to will know you don't know what you're talking about?

But, I won't say that. More than likely, I'll order online. If at all. I've had no radio in the cruiser for 7 years or so. You can see that I'm in no hurry.

That's about true. If I'm not wearing nitrile gloves then I use this before I start.

If I use that, any grease, including Never Seez, comes off easily with hand cleaner.

I only wear black gloves like all the cool fuckers on the biker build shows.

I have a guy. I give him money. He makes things happen.

I have a husband for that and I dont give him any money.
