It puts off a lot of evaporative gas. If you put it in something like a needle dropper bottle it'll squirt out for some time.

I must say, Mr. Kinser, it is very...interesting to me that you have explored these possibilities to this degree. Especially since I have heard tell that you eschew wax on your bores...

The propellant in Jig will kill your wheel bore... that is why no Jig on both.

I'm aware that the propellant isn't kind to plastic, but one could presumably spray some jig into a cup, let the propellant evaporate and then apply to the bores with an applicator, no?

hmmmm... might be an idea there.

I would have to make it a re-sealable cup though... I don't want my Jig getting wasted by dumping it out.

You would amazed at the number of things/combinations I have tried. I'll save you some time. You'll be slower.

Use a pipe cleaner and spray Jig on it. Let stand for 10 min. Rub it in your bores. You'll be slower with this as well.

How do you think I got there?

One experiment at the time would be my guess. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif

I did some experiments with jig on a pipe cleaner. Spray it on the pipe cleaner let sit for 5 min, 8, min, etc. the bad stuff evaporates in about 10-12 min but the pipe cleaner was still damp. I had some bad wheels that I applied the jig to after 5 min and it melted the bore. Kept increasing the time until I could apply with no black specs on the pipe cleaner. Have not gone any further with it.

Isn't the purpose of the Jig-a-Loo to prep the axels not the wheel bores? After my axels are polished I just spray them with the Jig and blow dry with my heat gun. This evaporates the solvent in the Jig. I then set them aside, covered, until ready to insert into the wheels. I apply the oil to the axels before inserting them into the bores. By the way I have found no problem with Jig attacking other wheel plastics like Delrin, Acetal, or Acrylic.

The biggest question is why does Jig work on the axles and not the wheels?

 

[Maglev]

My feeling is that the polymethylsiloxane formulation in Jig is optimized for attachment to metal (SS) rather than plastics. Just like certain oleo- & Hydro-phobic coatings only work on a glass substrate and not plastic.

 

[pony express]

Sounds good. Thanks Maglev.

There was a time when I found speed with jig in the bore, but once I cleaned up my prep it was just as fast or even faster without.
