Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-27306930-20190420005824

So I found something interesting at the local auto parts store - Bulb Grease. I had to replace a tail light, and the fellow at the counter suggested buying a packet of bulb grease. Supposedly it helps bulbs slide in and out of their sockets, keeps out moisture, and prevents corrosion. For 99¢ I figured I couldn't go wrong.

Well, I discovered this stuff is almost exactly the same as OMW Silicone Lube, NFSTRIKE O-ring grease, and half a dozen other "silicone lubricants" I've seen on many Nerf sites at three times the price. After reading the ingredient list, I'm pretty sure it's the same semi-translucent milky white silicone gel that Hasbro uses to grease the plunger tubes at the factory.

One packet has 4 grams of gel. In Nerf terms, that's practically a lifetime supply. Best of all, you can find it at almost any local auto parts store.

Shop smart, Nerfers !
