Silicone Oil

Hauk

Hey guys,

Just a quick tip for those of you looking for Silicon Oil. If there is a modified cars shop near you, it's a fair bet they'll have 3-in-1 Silicon oil in stock. I went into the shop near the me, and he had a few silicon oil brands. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him what it was for. Although, after explaining what airsoft was, he seemed interested

I didn't tell them what it was for just in case, I just said that I was told to get it.

I was in Halfords and PR Reilly, both stock nearly everything for cars and the oil brands were just not clearly maked as being 100% silicon. All that I saw was the odd silicon free signs on the bottles.

Just go into a Marks models shop im pretty sure the all silicon oil is used for the petrol powered Remote Controlled Cars they have or something along those lines. Im 100% they have it though costs like a Tenner a bottle i think well it did last time i checked

shouldnt this be silicone spray? afaik silicon is entirely different, and I doubt available in aerosol form lol

kdouglas

indeed, but who needs to know how to spell...

not sure if this is the same one the OP was talking about, but this is what b&q and halfords have in liffey valley:

I separated it off into a new thread as it was going totally off topic yet was still a relevant discussion.

Keeps popping up quite a bit actually. People really do love their silicone oil

It is silicone oil not neccisarily made for AEG's and other airsoft equipment but it does the job nicely.
