What's that copper paste like stuff?

**midnight_flasher** · 02-22-2011, 05:46 PM

I own Lumapower MRV Sidekick Ultra 111 Standard and Turboforce editions. Whats that copper colored stuff you use in the threads? It cannot be copper paste - right? For me it looks too coarse to be good for O-rings and I remove it promptly at least from the tailcap, but that maybe just me and my neurosis.

Side note: how about glow in the dark sidekick switch? I find it hard to find it in the dark sometimes, (theres some tautology for you, sorry, my English bad). In this climate - I live near artic circle - obligatory thick winter mittens made thing even worst.

My guess is copper anti-seize, the same stuff Curt uses for the Peak lights.

So it should be all good and not damage O-rings? But in the long run, isnt it better to remove it and replace with something better and familiar for you? Better means here better water/moisture resistance, smoother threads.

The point is, I know only industrial grade copper anti-size, and thats for high temperature applications and is quite abrasive stuff that will eat up aluminium.

Robyn (of Peak) informed me that this copper-like thing is helpful new SS threads. The new SS Eiger I purchased had this.

Ok, thanks, maybe I can now sleep better.

Hi midnight_flasher,

It is high quality copper-base lube.
It helps to smooth threads.

Thanks Ricky for prompt reply.

Really, please give the development team a tip, that sidekick switch is hard to find (=fell) even with thin shooting gloves on the hand. It shoud not be hard to figure out some better touch/fell based clues about its location. I have made my own duct tape based solution

.. Also GITD could be one option.

Any response? Is this stuff available?

Hi Joe, webscrounger,

The lube is available at electronic store but the bottle size (weight) is relative large (around 1Kg)

Best regards,
