FYI Lubricants - LPS 2

[Neal]

I wasn't aware of this lubricant until I got into airplane ownership. This is some good stuff! I'm going to use this on my basement door latches and anywhere metal is on metal. All I've known in the past is your typical WD40, Silicone, T-9, etc. I suggest get some of this as it's a far better lubricant in my opinion.

LPS-2, there are also LPS-1 and LPS-3, which are far better products than WD-40. LPS products are designed to be lubricants where as WD-40 is designed to be a water displacement. I've seen many items damaged by the use of WD-40 when most folks think it is doing its job.

Lps1 is very similar to wd40
Lps2 is a penetrate and lubricant
Lps3 leaves behind a wax to inhibit rust . Also good for rubber, plastic, paint

Lots of options in their line up

This is my go to. For my money it can’t be beat as as an all purpose lubricant, protectant.

I ordered LPS-3 as well. That may be even better for some of the basement latches that are exposed to elements such as the two battery bays.

My chassis battery door is getting worse and worse, almost couldn't get it open just now. Hit it with LPS-3 and that stuff works great. No issues now. Going to hit all door latch assemblies with LPS-3.

Doesn't hurt to carry this amazing penetrant product - says right on the label that if it doesn't work as advertised you can return for refund.

Great tip. I had not heard of that brand until now. I just happen to need some of that for a water heater that I have. Thanks!

Should be available at LOWE's or Home Depot and maybe other big box stores.

I have been in machine maintenance most of my life (86 years) I have been in maintenance before WD 40 became known.
My first encounter with WD 40 is I went into office and my tools went into home with all my hand tools so sprayed all of my precious tools with WD 40 2 yrs later I had to cleand the crud from my indicators and mikes
Bad idea!!!
