Ok, understood. From what I have seen, the preferred method of use is to spray it into a container and then dip the axels and shake them off. Since Jig-A-Loo is an endangered substance, I would plan to apply it to several set of axels at once. Is there any idea of a time frame where you...

Ok, watched the Oil Secrets Video. According to the "Bad" and "Good" list of axle sprays portrayed, I need to simply use my case of Jig-A-Loo for squeeky hinges..... One question though. The video is now two years old. In the fast paced and changing World of Pinewood Derby, is it still all...

Another newby question... I am getting the DD4H Oil Secrets DVD, but I have been hearing of so many different products that I am confusticated to no end. Blue Thunder Blue Dupont Jigaloo Legend Liquid Glass Spray on this and spray on that.... What is all that stuff and does it take the...

I bought a "EZ Tune" DD4H car online, but got a DNQ due to the fact that even though it had slots, it actually used the precision drilled holes. Our rules sadly stipulate that the factory slots must be used. The slots in the EZ Tune were also about 1/2 the width of standard slots which made...

Does anyone have any information about the "Physics Lecture" method of using a combo of oil and graphite. The article says you can get spin times of around 2 minutes. How does that compare in the real world with the DD4H method?
