[R-390] Tungsten Disulfide by the ounce......

[Chris Farley via R-390]

I just found a few people selling it in 10gram, 1oz, and 2oz bottles on eBay, too.  I would entertain the idea of ordering some and divvying it up for other group members, but for the cost and time involved to buy the WS2 in bulk, buy some small bottles or containers to put it in, then carefully fill said containers and mail them out, we might be better off just buy it from one of these places that already offer it.  On ebay a 10 gram bottle is ~$9.00, 1oz varies between $13-$15, and 2oz for $24.  These prices include shipping to my zip code.  


At 16oz per pound, the $74 1lb bag ($54 +$20 shipping) would make for a cost of $4.63 per oz before buying small containers and dividing it up.  I think I'm just going to go the ePay route :)  Just search for "WS2 powder", you'll get about 6 hits, including this 1oz bottle:

I found this site offering it for $11.95 per ounce.....

http://www.microlubrol.com/krytoxgpl205lubricantgrease-2oz57gmtube-4-3-3-1-1-2-3-1-3.aspx

Priority mail shipping is $6.20 and they take PayPal if you
don't want to give them cc info.

I just ordered some because I have a Colt Commander that I have
problems with keeping the slide lubricated enough.
