| "Sticky"/ viscous oil to slow down moving parts. |

I was thinking maybe telescopic fork leg oil??? or silicone grease mixed with silicone oil |

--- Quote from: S. Heslop on February 17, 2013, 05:47:10 PM ---I found one firm selling a box of 5 syringes of a different brand damping grease covering a whole range of viscosity, but for £80. Still not sure if you'd get away mixing them to try and reach a viscosity in the middle though. According to another thing I found Rocol discontinued the 50g tubes of the stuff over a year ago, which is tragic. I think i'd like to try and find my own tube though but thanks for the offer. It seems like it'd be useful stuff to have around. I found some stuff on a motorcycle forum about using it for throttle handles, so maybe i'll try asking in some of the bike shops next time i'm going through that part of town. --- End quote --- Try this link - more affordable but only 1.5ml grease: http://www.mindsetsonline.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1166 Phil. |

I'll second Bill, chain saw bar oil is sticky for sure and cheap. Cheers! Phil |

A step in another direction, you can use a non-Newtonian fluid like cornstarch. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To%3A-Make-Non-Newtonian-Fluid-%26-Experiment-wit/ :thumbup: |

There are viscous fluid filled couplings, differentials and damppers. I hope I knew the words. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential5.htm http://www.syncro.org/VCTest.html I know there is viscous coupling liquid for very much lower temperature, because I have seen couplings that worked in slow motion in room temprerature, but can't remember for what they were made for, probably for office machines and such. This was something like 10 years ago. If I got it right, inside were just a stack of plates drilled trough to allow liquid stay in the plates and every other plate was driven from rim and everyother from centre....just like a normal coupling. Would this work with normal grease? PekkaNF |
