Hi.
I have bought a bottle of compressor oil that I use atm for lubing switches. Why I bought it is because of the price. I think I can make it cost ~0.5€+shipping for a 10ml flask. Its a flask like this:

I'm not sure about shipping yet but I think it wouldn't be that much.
It have the same viscosity as Krytox GPL 104(ISO 68)
Would anyone be interested?

I would be interested in trying some; have you tried it out on any switches yet?
I am looking for something to lube clears with at the moment, so I think I am looking for a thicker solution (not sure).

Generally you're looking for lower viscosity for switches and higher for stabilizers.

I have lubed my new board but I haven't had the opportunity to try them because I'm not finished with it yet.
This is the first time I lube a whole board so can't say anything about this yet.
But in theory it would be the same feeling like lubing with krytox GPL 104

I do see a lot of people mixing 104 with 205, which I thought was thicker, I am just concerned about this being to thin.
Then again, it's cheap and I have switches laying around, so count me interested

OK. Seems like there is a bit of interest.
I have to source the bottles. And check postage. How fast do everyone need it? When ordering from eBay the bottles will arrive in a week or two.
Will search other places aswell(Sweden) but then the price would rise...
How much is everyone willing to pay?

I am interested as well, just a note though. I am not sure if I would trust shipping in those bottles, the cap would be leak-prone.
Something like this might be better for shipping, and worse for using!
Best would be a bottle with luer lock and cap/needle but that means $$$

Thinking of buying syringes aswell, but it can be some restrictions here in my country on them, will double check that.
Think I order those bottles you linked.
