Militec Question

[crazy nicky]

Someone said in my earlier post about heating up the pivots with a hair dryer before using the Militec?? Why is that and is it neccesary????

Here you go from Militec's site!

HOW DOES MILITEC-1 WORK?

When MILITEC-1 is applied to a metal surface, it chemically reacts with, and is adsorbed by, the metal. The chemical reaction takes place at temperatures between 100°F and 150°F (38°C - 66°C) depending on friction and load conditions. The effect of the chemical reaction is a stiffening (not hardening) of the metal surface -- approximately seventeen times stiffer when the reaction is complete. The increased stiffness dramatically reduces friction and parasitic drag, just as when an underinflated tire is pumped up.

I sent an email to them some time ago and got the following reply:


Thank you for your interest in MILITEC-1 and your order.

MILITEC-1 works best, when subjected to heat and/or friction.
Heat up your Knife with a hair dryer and then apply MILITEC-1 to "ALL" areas of the Knife.
Work your Knife for a few minutes and then wipe off all excess MILITEC-1.
Repeat the process, if you want maximum results.

Once your Knife is dry lubricated with MILITEC-1, you can use a cloth if you wish.

Another question:

Do you need to use the needle applicator if you are applying the Miltec from the tiny bottle? (To get to the pivot), or do you just apply the drop from as near as you can get and let it spread itself around the pivot?

I use the needle. It provides better control when lubricating the joints.
