I just received 2 tubes of the Super Lube. After thoroughly
investigating their website, I am convinced that this is a state of
the art synthetic PTFE lubricant suitable for telescopes or just
about anything else one might imagine.
I called the company at 1.800.253.LUBE and spoke with a chemical
engineer, expressing my concerns and application. He reiterated that
the grease has no appreciable outgassing (conventional greases with
outgassing evaportate at a rate 750% greater) and will not fog or
damage optics. In fact, one of the largest and biggest names in
optics regularly uses it in their products (I know the name but will
leave you guessing).
Therefore, I have no reservation in going ahead and regreasing the
thimble on my C14 with it.
