I was digging in the tools last night and found a can of Moly Mist by Jet Lube. I had it to loosen up a bunch of tools that got rained on a few years
ago. Reading the label it says that it is a dry film lubricant, listing marine as one of the applications. Does anyone know if it will work on pulleys
and other moving equipment on my kiting gear????? Sounds like it should be okay.

Dry-Tef or Zep-lon are Teflon suspended in a fast evaporating media. Both are non-staining but leave a white residue, Telfon powder which when dried
and provides excellent lubrication but is washed away when submerged repeatedly... Most of the Moly-lubs leave a black molybdenum residue which seems
to cake a bit when dry and cling a bit better but are a gawd awful mess. Much like anti-seize compounds, if you get a bit under your finger nail, it
will end up in body crevices you couldn't imagine and you'll have gray stuff on everything you touch for the next week. Same deal with moly-lubs.

Thanks for the info fellas. I'll check out our local boat shop and see if they carry McLube Sailkote. Is that the same sailkote that you can put on
your kites to resurface it???? The inflate zippers on my synergy are getting a bit rough to open and close so that is one of the places I was thinking
of using the molymist.
