Tape Repair Questions
take some mineral oil or even sewing machine/3 in one oil, on a Qtip-
and oil the posts for the tape reel and pinchroller take some alcohol on a paper towel, and clean all the excess graphite off the roller also put new pads in- either cut your own or buy them- I sell bags of 100 for $10 on Ebay, they fix 50 tapes |

spray is a sure formula to have your tape get all gummy and oily in the
future- I gave up on the silicon sprays back in 1982 oil works better |

Lithium grease works well in many situations, but still has a petroleum (oil) carrier, and will dry out over time. You still have the problem of a petroleum product attacking various plastics. I've gotten a few carts in where someone has used oil or petro-based grease to lube the posts, and in all but one case, the post was either showing signs of cracking or just fell off. I use PTFE because it is thermoplastic-friendly, is a "dry" lube and lessens friction even better than traditional grease or oil. dB |
