Dry Lube doesn't stick on the parts

Dry Lube doesn't stick on the parts

Dry Lube doesn't stick on the parts

(OP)
Hi Guys!

I am trying to have a nice finish with dry lube spray on some parts however the dry lube does not stick on the parts or they come out pretty easy. Is there anything I can do ?

Thanks!

RE: Dry Lube doesn't stick on the parts

what exactly are you spraying? usually a spray not only contains the lubricant but also a propellant. the propellant often is a rather volatile substance that needs to evaporate before the actual coating can be effective. the surface where is has to adhere to may also need some form of surface treatment or a bit of roughening before the dry lubricant is applied.

they come out pretty easy.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean it comes off/wipes off easily after being sprayed?

Also to echo romke - what are you spraying and what are you spraying onto and what is it made of? Has the part had any surface treatments prior, perhaps shipping with a light coating of oil/anti-corrosion coating (ie: cosmoline or similar) which needs to be cleaned or wiped off first?
