Does it leave a nice dry slipery film like it says on the tin?

 

[finnbear270]

Yup!

WOW! ... telescopic high seat was a bit of a drag trying to get it to close down easy, flooded the stiles & thumb locking bits with this product, it's like a new one now.

I got the silicone version for a creaky dashboard in the car. Worked well.

You can buy spray on silicon from screw fix for about £2.5 per can. If your car seat belts are slow retraction was them as best you can let them dry them with silicon works a treat !

PTFE is way different to silicon, for different applications.

PTFE"s coefficient of friction is supposed to be like wet ice on wet ice.

Yup!

I havebeen reading Amazon reviews of the product and a lot of people are saying it stays sticky and dosent dry.

Have you found this with your experience?

Check this out TF2 Teflon spray, been using it a while after mate gave me a can. Got simbols on the side like hinge, gear & a rifle! Use it on all parts & bolt is real silky slick! Notice it stsight away & it lasts. Cheaper on the bay.

I have been using the WD40 PTFE spray for a number of years. Quick spray of the bolt after cleaning, leave to dry (a max of a couple of minutes) and your ready to go. It isnt sticky and dry's completely.

As it is in the title!

So I decided to buy a can of wd40 dry ptfe.

Yes it does dry after a seconds and leave a clear non tacky film on everything.

gave the entire bolt a quick spray and left to air dry for a few minutes before re inserting.

And so far so good it seems to be silky smooth on cycling the action so only time will tell if it attracts any dirt and how long lasting it is but so far it's looking good.

Thanks

Ps I got it off Amazon for £6.06 it's on sale

And it's good enough to lube cases prior to re-sizing, also

 

[Milligan]

dry cycle chain lubes work very well as well.

 

[nobber]

Brilliant stuff! Use it on loads of things. Like you say - leave it for a short period and it will dry.

Well I still have a tin of Dri Slide which we used when rebuilding/respringing air rifles.
