Re: Alps Lubricant FOUND!
Thanks for taking the time, I have a question, what is the condition of your green switches, because if they're 9/10 then the lube did a great job replicating OG. If if that wasn't the case, dang it, I thought this was it
Yep, thanks for taking the time to contribute here and make this stuff ...

Should be here wednesday, I'll report back with some results.
andresteare you bring up a great point about using heat to help with a thinner application. I'll probably try this if I have any ...

Re: Alps Lubricant FOUND!
TAI Lubricants is the official US Small Volume Distributor for Nye Lubricants.
Just pointing this as a form of warning: be careful, 774VH is substantially heavy whereas 774VL is way too light.
NyoGel 774 VH : 16830 cSt *0.86 = 14473 ,8 cP @ 40c
NyoGel 774 = 5070 cSt *0.86 = 4360 ,2 cP @ 40c ...

They have the 774VL and 774VH in stock, but don't have any 774.
Viscosity looks to be quite different, so I inquired about purchasing some 774. Fingers crossed I suppose.
Link is in the spoiler.
