Never used Quick Slick but have used One Shot. Learned early on you have to spray 360 degrees and in a downward direction to get some in the case mouth (unless you graphite the mouth with a q-tip). Also learned you have to let the spray completely dry before sizing.
Because I'm cheap as well as grumpy.
PAM cooking spray is a coating, not a lubricant. It’s designed to stick to metal and fill in all of the scratches and gaps that food starches and proteins will grab onto when they get hot enough to contract before breaking down. It’s designed to stick to metal, not food.
Indeed. The sheer number of things that do work out there make me marvel at the ones who can’t make a dedicated product function.
When your wife sews you learn to keep 3-in-1 oil on hand. It’s one of the best case lubricants I’ve found; but I mostly use Imperial. Save the sewing machine oil for the sewing machines.
My wife likes coconut oil for some reason or another. It reminded me of lanolin, so for shoots and grins I made some test spray case lube with it dissolved in Iso-heet. I was surprised to find it works quite well.
The main ingredients of PAM are vegetable oils, with canola oil being the predominant one and the only one in the OG PAM. Liquified petroleum gas blend is the propellant, soy lecithin is an emulsifier to help it deal with water. Canola oil is an OK lube, it has been used in industrial settings, especially steam ship engines.
So…. You’re saying PAM is a lubricant, not a non-stick cooking spray.
No, I didn't say it wouldn't function as a non-stick coating.So…. You’re saying PAM is a lubricant, not a non-stick cooking spray.
Interesting.
Do you. All day, every day.
How often do you clean the pad? Just asking cause when olive oil gets rancid it also has an objectionable odor. Well, objectionable to me anyway.
And don’t you know there are a lot of steamship engines out there
I thought they used whale blubber?Nuclear ship and sub engines are steam engines, the water heated by Mr. Burns' favorite material, though I seriously doubt they use any vegetable oils. For the cost of a modern nuclear ship, as a taxpayer, I hope they're using synthetic.And don’t you know there are a lot of steamship engines out there
Yes.

After whaling went out of vogue, our ancestors tried all kinds of stuff to replace the oils from the poor critters. Sperm (whale) oil is fantastic for sewing machines and watches and was used in ATF, or so I've read. I don't think I've ever seen any but my grandfather probably had some in his garage.
I just wanted to get the Simpsons reference in there.
Went right by me but I do get it nowI just wanted to get the Simpsons reference in there.
You're not alone in that; fats and oils breaking down into the fatty acids and glycerol is part of rotting and decay, the smell of which most people don't like.
And I don’t even like the smell of fresh olives to begin with…
After a loading session i wash it with dish soap and hot water.
