I still have a Molykote Gn-Plus in the typical green labelled 250g/0,55lbs tin can... requires quite some elbow-grease stirring that up...
Their current 100g/0,22lbs tin-tubes with a sponge-tip applicator (like shoe-polish) are not much better, the aluminum cracks on the folding lines while kneading the content, so the stuff leaks out everywhere... latex gloves mandatory...
But it sticks to the splines so fine...

Initially I couldn't find LB8012 in an Amazon search, but [thanks] the link worked [?]. I'd be $99.00 plus tax for that vs $80.00 before tax through Grainger, so could save a bit. I called Bumper to Bumper here in Vancouver and was told they don't carry Loctite [they carry permatex or maker ofo permatex products instead], kind of odd. Napa also didn't have it.
Wondering if that dry clay picture could also be partially the result of a seal failure due to water / salt water ingress?
The reason I ask is that I thought I read on one material description that the molybdenum disulfide is mixed with a clay base, and that looks like clay.
I wonder if the [ending in 5___ product 8 ounce bottle is mixed with something suitable for moving part lubrication, where as some other LB 8012 variation I'm ready to pick up might be mixed with something more suited for stationary fasteners. Maybe the chemical is there but the other 35% produces the lapping effect.
I rechecked the TS sheet and it indicates 65% moly [edit] and is described as a heavy black paste but doesn't indicate what is else is used.
Maybe I'm better off sticking with the bottle.
[edit] Oh... and here come the jokes...

Moly is like anti-seize; it seems no matter what I do, no matter how careful I am... it gets on me somewhere.Their current 100g/0,22lbs tin-tubes with a sponge-tip applicator (like shoe-polish) are not much better, the aluminum cracks on the folding lines while kneading the content, so the stuff leaks out everywhere... latex gloves mandatory...
Gloves, applicators, not getting too much, doesn't matter. And more especially if I'm wearing decent clothes while using either of them. Both those compounds, useful as they are, are simply insidious. Maybe they're like a chemical virus...?

So I call Grainger back, see if my 4 ounces in the 8 ounce tube for around $80.00 plus tax, is at the Burnaby location yet.
Don't know me, never heard of me.
What's your confirmation number, let me check... didn't get one, I was driving, [alright well, there it is, but I called before I put it in gear and had the hands free on] said they'd email it and another email when it's there, [which they didn't] should be Wednesday. Well all we have is two 8 ounce containers in Victoria, can't even see these 4 ounce tubes you're on about.
Well how much are those?
Lets see... Grainger part number LCT51048... $81.78 should have it in Burnaby Friday...
It's good to have more than one bike.
[edit] I'll have to get to the bottom of that one.
