Ion Maintenance - Correct Lube

[Marcus Geezer]

Guys,

I'm just sorting out bits and bobs to maintain my 2nd hand ion for the first time, and am a bit confused about using the correct lube on the firing bolt.

The tech website which has a step by step method recomends the use of Dow/Corning 33 Shocker Lube, but can I find it anywhere?

Can someone either recomend where to buy it from, or a suitable alternative.

Oh, and if you got any other tips regarding my first dis-assembly and re-assembly of the Ion it would be much appreciated.

Your help is appreicated.

Check out the video links in your other thread - Thats all I needed for complete assembly/disassembly.

I use Vaseline to lube up the bolt O-Rings but that might be wrong I've heard Shocker Lube or Dye Slick Lube is recommended.

Dye Slick Lube. Works great for me.

Lowered my 'training mode' dwell by 7 ms from the stock lube.

you can get the recommended molycote dow 33 light from any engineering suppliers at half the price of paintball shops, just do a google search for your local stockist.

I use shocker lube on my Ion and cant go wrong with it. The problem that I heard of Dye lube is that it can freeze and crack causing issues with leaks etc. Again I dont know how true this is but I have been told to stay away from it.

Yeah, Dye Slick, Evolve Cinammon etc are great...but when it gets cold, they fcuk up.

DOW33 matey...Dskize had a load.
