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

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Ok, so how much is that?

It’s roughly 4 cc’s of the stuff. You can coat about 8 square meters of surface one layer thick with that bottle. If you coat mating surfaces equally, it’s 4 square meters. 

Given the way the material works, it’s likely not a “several layers” sort of coating. Allowing for surface roughness and a bit of slop might take you down to 2  square meters. 

That’s a lot of playing with a pin oiler …. 

A little bit goes a long way. Do not go crazy with this stuff. 

Bob
