Title: Lube
Post by: Qs on February 03, 2015, 03:54:49 PM
Having a bit of hassle getting things nice and tight... on my keg lids you degenerates. :o

Anyway wondering where you can get keg lube in this country or even if you can. Or any alternatives until I can get someone from the states to bring me some over.

KY Jelly from your local chemist,it is what i use and IMHO is better than keg lube as it is water based,anything that is suitable for a rubber is suitable for a keg seal  ???

I got some from seller Home Grabs eu on Amazon Petrol Gel (http://www.amazon.co.uk/McGlaughlin-Oil-PETROL-GEL-Grease-Lubricant/dp/B0015ZQ5MQ/l)
It's fulfilled by amazon so it was free delivery with super saver shipping as I was buying a few other bits too.
