I bought 5LBs and use it just about everything that needs lubricating, I mix it with my own grease to create just what I need. You have a customer for life!

I love experimenting with the tungsten powder to create my own concoctions, I've used in everything from my reels, to my boat, to even in my truck oil. If you have tried it you are missing out

I use this exclusively on all my equipment so I know how good it is. I also noticed that some company in australia was already trying to copycat the product, as many do when there is a great product. But don't settle for second best, get the original from these guys

I shouldn't be giving my secrets away, but I have learned lots of good info here also, so here goes. Pur-Tungsten is amazing. I don't buy it mixed with oil and i don't mix it with my own oil. I may experiment with adding some to rocket fuel, but after lots of research, i found that there are more efective ways to apply. The best way is to air blast it, for that you need a small air eraser for glass etching and a cabinent to capture and reuse. Thats expensive to get started but might pay off in long run. The next best is buffing, thats what I mostly do. I mix a teaspoon of powder with 91% pure iso alcohol, you can buy that at a drugstore. It forms a paste and the excess alcohol floats on top as it always settles back to a paste. I dip a Qtip in it and vigorously rub it into the fiber tension spacers. I use a Qtip in a dremmel to buff it on spool shafts and ends. I also buff it onto the inside of the pinion. On reels that have a moving line guide during the cast, i buff it onto the tube and the inside of the line guide where it rides on the tube. Couple those treatments with any good oil in the bearings and you have an amazing difference. Those of you that have talked about buying bearings from Boca that are permanetly dry lubed, it's tungsten powder that they use. It's right on the boca site. I found a way to do it myself. I put a small amount of powder in a needle oil bottle then mix pour it 3/4 full of iso alcohol. shake it up and squirt it right into the bearing at the gap around the inner ring. It will fill the bearing and flow out on paper towel. Put that bearing on a taper shaft in a drill and spin it at low speed for 20 seconds or so until friction will have bonded it. Then blow out excess. It will feel very gritty at this point, now rinse the bearing out with pure iso alcohol. a good way to do that is to use a bearing blaster and put the alcohol in a presure sprayer that you can buy from harbor freight for 5 bucks. it's an emtpy rattle can with extension tube and an air chuck. When the bearing is rinsed out and air blown to dry, it's smooth as melted butter and will spin almost forever.

Although I have not found a reason, It is said not to add the material to a fuel oil mixture for coating purposes. But all the coating people say they add the coating to normal 2 stroke engine parts once cleaned and dry. The outer film will eventually wear away, but since the product is less than a micron it is able to fill all the micro fishers in the substrate and continue to offer friction reduction. A perfesional coating company offered their out board engine 2 stroke test results to me and the apparent improvements. The engine ran noticably cooler. They were able to reduce the fuel and oil needed for combustion and lubrication. This also caused an increase in horse power. After 100 hours of use the engine was again disasembled and inspected for damage. Since there was none, and even less than during a normal breaking period for the engine. The engine was then reasembled and tested. Because of the reduced friction the 2 stoke engine became more efficient. Combustion was cleaner with less residual carbon. This was attributed to the lower oil requirements. This also allowed the 2 stroke to meet 4 stroke emmission standards for the industry. The fuel consumption was reduced, hourly burn rate tested from a fuel flow meter. The identical motor was tested side by side without the coating as a controle. The two engines although identical in construction acted completly different. This is why I bring this question to the forum. I am going to test on an older engine that has had several gallons run thru it. The sleeve has been pinched, but looking at it and the piston with magnification, I see small scares that my identical new motor does not have. If this product works my concern is that I will need to reduce the head size to achieve operating engine temps and any temp reading will be only used to try and get the engine over 200F. I have setup a small tumblar with the powder sealed inside. All the moving parts of the car will be coated. The engine will have the sleeve, Piston, con rod, piston pin etc. I am leaving out the crank, because I believe adiquate friction reduction is made from the bearings. I will give it a try and report my results. I was going to use this engine as a backup anyway, so if I need to toss it, so be it. I will see if this dry coating will improve performance. I believe low speed idle will be a problem just like the out board reported. The large 2 stroke test reported the engine idled really high following the addition of the coating. They had a computer controled fuel injector, so it was only a small adjustment for them.

I've seen this almost same type of stuff selling on ebay for upwards of $12.95 per ounce! This is a great deal, I know where our company will be purchasing from now on.

I absolutely love this stuff, it is better than any lubricant I have ever used, oil or grease. I was skeptical at first and don't normally take chances on products I haven't seen before but I am so glad that I did! It arrived in the mail packaged very good, and trust me our post man is notorious for not caring too much about packages. I bought a 4oz. of the powder and a 13oz spray because I wanted to try them both out.
The powder was great if you want to make it go a long way, yes it only take a little bit for the job. The spray has been great! gets into all the little tight spots. I work for a logging company and showed them what it can do for our equipment and they are placing an order this week!
Get you some, you'll love it!

This is absolutely the best lubricant you can own, not just for reels either. I work for a high precision motor company and this is the exact stuff we use on all of our precision gearing. I bought both the powder and the spray and both work great. If you want really awesome results though I'd suggest the powder and the tumbler method because you need to impact bond this material to get great results. But once you put the time into it this stuff is virtually lifetime!
