lubricant

[joe bob]

What type of lubricant should I use on my spyder?

 

[ciaran.mooney]

You should always use good lubricant, just ask Permboy

 

[Munkeh]

Silicon based is the best from what i hear!

aci air lube is alright (planet)
basically most high pressure air lubes will be ok,but NOT WD40 =BAD

Ideally use "paintball gun oil" like Gold Cup or PMI Perfect. Whatever you use, it is important that you use synthetic oil, not 3-in-one or WD40 since they will cause your o-rings to swell and ruin your velocity. I am told that sewing machine oil will do, but don't quote me on that.

3in1 oil is ok as it is a oil wd40 is a water deplacment wich causes the rings to crack,sewing machine oil is also ok

Oh, ok, I was always told to avoid 3-in-one, but after doing a bit of a search on google it seems that lots of people use 3-in-one without trouble, so maybe I was wrong on that one. Don't use WD40 though (did I already say that?)

I always use PMI Perfect, and even on a gun like the Piranha which demands a lot of lubrication to run at its best, a small bottle goes a very long way.

I used 3-1 shotgun oil from well, the gun shop

Maplin spray Silicone lube with PTFE,or KY jelly

 

[<SpEcTrA>]

you shouldnt use ky jelly its waterbased and has other coumpounds similar to sugar so it leaves a very sticky mess behind after it evaportes imagine what that does to the inside of your marker
