DuPont Teflon lube vs. TriFlow? (question)
 
Hey, y'all. :-) I haven't been around much due to no free time to sew or play with machines.

But, I was walking through Lowe's and saw they have spray and liquid Teflon lube of some sort made by DuPont. I meant to swing back that way and read the label before on my way out but got distracted and forgot. Has anyone tried that for anything? I have to drive about 20 miles to maybe find TriFlow at a hardware store, but Lowe's is only about 4 miles.

I have used some oils with Teflon by other makers. They work OK for guns and other things. However the only non-sewing machine oil I have used on sewing machines is Tri-Flow. It also has Teflon ( PTFE ) and works good.
I don't know how the product at Lowe's is formulated. Tri-Flow is a very light viscosity oil and penetrates very well.

All you could do is buy some and try it. It might work great.

Or, you could order some Tri-Flow oil from Sew-Classics and they'll deliver it right to your door.
