Joint Grease?

[cybrguy]

I have had a number of situations where gg glass components have stuck together and been difficult or inconvenient to separate. I have thought about using some kind of joint grease, but have read of situations where that made sticking worse. Do a lot of folk use grease or wax on their joints? Is there a recommended product?

@Ed's TnT has the Bomb Ass Butter. I use either that or bees wax like in a lot of lip moisturizers, like Burt's Bees.

I have been using "Smooth slide" glass joint wax for the past couple months and I'm very happy with the results. It works great to keep glass joints from sticking and also makes a good solid seal.

I use Toob Lube, and never had any sticking problems.

I used to use Toob Lube, worked great, then I realized it was just cork grease for wind instruments relabeled (I think). So I've been using this: http://www.amazon.com/Vandoren-CG10...F8&qid=1438747916&sr=8-1&keywords=cork+grease

You can just go to your local music shop or your kid's band teacher and they should sell this!

Slide Right is made exactly for this purpose. Slide Right™ is a 100% all natural custom wax blend used to protect scientific slides and other glass joints. It is available in a single tube, Net Wt. 0.15oz (4.3g).

Ballistic creations also makes Joint Wax. Joint Wax™ is a 100% all natural custom wax blend used to protect scientific and other glass joints. It is available in a single tube, Net Wt. 0.15oz (4.3g). Joint Wax™ Prevents Glass Grinding & Frozen Joints. It doesn’t slip; it grips and holds to secure your glass joints.

The difference is that Joint Wax is meant to hold things together, it has a thicker viscosity, while Slide Right makes release predictable. For firmer hold you can heat Joint Wax, put glass together, then let it cool for a "no clip" hold.
