Copperslip

What else is it good for?

Had to buy a massive tub of the stuff as it's all they had in stock.

Used a smidgen on the wife's brakes (yes, on the back of the pads ) so now at a loss as to what to do with the other half kilo.

Any good uses? Bike or otherwise?

Frank the tank

I have some screw in spotlights in the kitchen and I smear it on the threads it stops them fusing into the ceiling fitting.

Anything that requires lubing/seize prevention. Its great stuff and will last an age.
Peddle threads/virtually any bolt on a bike, especially winter/mtb's. door hinges, padlocks
fishing kit, I even use it on my shotguns.
the list is virtually endless.

As mentioned, anything that requires seize prevention, but don't use it for lubeing. Copperslip has, as you might have guessed, copper in it. If you use it as a lube then it will wear away the components. I know, I have experience of this in my dim and distant past ! :oops:

Sparkplugs - car or lawnmower.

Otherwise very nice with a piece of cheese.

Even in an automotive workshop a 500g tub lasts a fair while - brake pad/caliper points to stop squealing, wheel bolts and a few exhaust points. Also on battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Should last you a while at home!

Use it as a warm up balm/fake tan on your legs.

I use it on bottom brackets. Brilliant stuff.

What he said. Stops the cup threads binding making fitting/removing easier. Good for any threaded fittings involving Ti as well as it prevents them from "galling" and seizing as a result.
