Dow 33 is the one to use. I got mine from Zack so not too sure where to get it from. Have you tried Phoenix as I am sure they will have some??

try planet or the dow 33 m8,
for any info about looking after your timmy try pb nation,
lots of good stuff on it about timmys.

Only use Dow33 if you really have to, the one to use is Dow55 which is thinner so much less likely to screw around with your solenoid.

Dow55 is the shiz.

you can get it from www.paintballkingdom.com (for instance) it's spinny but one tube lasts a lifetime.

Lube? On a Timmy? You don't lube 'em, you just spit on the bolt at the end of the day's play and put it back in.

Are you crazy! You don't want to do that. Timmy's are so fast you have to put loctite in 'em just to slow 'em down enough so they don't outshoot the HALO A few drops of the red stuff in the ASA oughtta do it

Dow 55 is the one Bob Long recommends,

As for a lubing procedure

The recomendations are to:

Lube the Poppet, Ram, and Regs every 2,000/3,000 cycles


I do it after every day of play, it takes about 10 mins to do the regs and ram, and requires no tools, the poppet is a little more complicated, but still easy enought.

Now I'm not 100% and I will check up on it, but I belive the Alias platform has an oringless poppet with no cupseal, and doesn't need lubing.

Don't use oil as a lube. ect ect.

cheers

I do mine when it needs it, which is usually just before a major event, I don't bother if it's just practice, so every month or so.
