lubricants

[hafnor]

Just got back from the guys at tsi. I sent them a mail asking if there were any Norwegian carriers of the product. Actually spoke to a friend of mine who is in the military and the norwegian military use tsi301 and 321 for their guns and equipment, same as a lot of police dept. in the states.

Well, unfourtanetly Alan sent me a can of this wonderful oil but the I lost three quarters by leaving the can accidentally open for a night, so now I am empty...

Nick Armendinger sent me a very nice mail regarding the oil. unfourtanetly there is not a listed store in Norway that carries tsi products so I have to get it from someone who has it. He said he could ship me a can but the shipping and handle is 25$+15$ for the 8oz can. leaving me at a total of 40USD and expected Toll, vat from customs approx. 17$ close to 60$ for an 8 oz can is a bit much, can anyone help me out here? anybody know a website that has a cheaper option for the tsi301?

either way hope to hear back from you guys. I am copying the mail for you to read. MAybe it's already out there but what the heck.

Dear Mr. Hafnor,

Thank you for your  continued use of our products and your recent e-mail. As long as you order the bulk 301 (8oz, 16oz can) instead of aerosol (considered a restricted article for air shipment) we should be able to ship with no problems. We do accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express payments. Please note that there is a $25.00 handling charge for preparation of export documentation on all orders. The main difference between 301 and 321 is that the 321 is the pure lubricant while 301 has a solvent component added to help remove dirt, rust, carbon builup, etc. So you might use 301 to periodically clean your reels and 321 for regular lubrication but 301 will also lubricate as well.  I have attached a price list as well as a data sheet on our product. Hopefully, this information helps you.

Best Regards,

Nick Armendinger

I have read so much good stuff about Corrosion X that I have decided to get some.

I have tracked it down here in Australia (I think)?.

Is this the same stuff that you use for servicing fishing reels?

Thanks,
Brett.

[alantani]

yes, that's it, but we pay $17 here i the US.  we visited australia last year and i know the prices are high, but a $40 price for corrosion x is highway robbery!

Thanks Alan,

Shopping around but it is hard to find cheap freight from the US.

As expensive as it is, it still may be the cheapest option for Australia.

As no supplier will ship TSI301 to the UK I "made" my own. Starting with TSI321 (which can be shipped overseas from Pilkguns in the US) I needed a solvent. After a few trials I settled on IPA (isopropyl alcohol) 99.9% not rubbing alcohol!!. 8 parts IPA to 2 parts TS321 by weight or volume it doesn't matter. The IPA does not materially alter the oil it just dilutes it and quickly evaporates. It is also completely safe with all common plastics (the orginal solvent is not). Healthwise it is also safer than the original solvent which can no longer be purchased in the UK. Hope this helps someone.

hi tiddler
its obvious you are a man of many talents(andros)and now this.
are you a rocket scientist by any chance
cheers

[Tiddlerbasher]

No  I just have to much time on my hands and I like things to work properly. Being a retired engineer helps in that respect 
Having an unnatural obsession for fishing tackle doesn't help

you're going to get along just fine here....

Question about Cal's Purple...

I'm new to the site and sorry if I'm asking an already answered question, but I looked through the forum and haven't found a specific answer to this.  I'm interested in trying Cal's grease and noticed the description of Cal's purple being suitable for colder climates and "smaller" reels.  I'm a bass  guy in Kentucky (Cold winters most of the time and HOT summers) and I mostly use Shimano Curados.  Would the Cal's purple be okay or should I go for the Cal's Universal (tan)?
