Details
THREAD meets high performance standards but takes toxicity seriously. To understand mans seeing through over-simplified labels like "environmental," "biodegradable," "green," "natural," etc. For those of you who do, you are lucky. Choices like this are key to living well in the 21st century. Same MSDS as CLEAR, click here.
How to Use
Best applied to spokes prior to threading—have each batch rest in a jar/cup with a shallow (10mm deep) amount of THREAD.
Or dip each spoke end prior to rolling.
If you plan to apply FIX, clean finished threads with a solvent. Paint thinner (kerosene, turpentine, etc.) swish then acetone rinse gives a great result.
This is a versatile lubricant, handy in the workshop wherever parts move.
