Otherwise it wouldn't work and would be called grease. _________________ My Cervelo R5 My Cervelo S3 My MTB

Not sure about Finish Line, Motorex (which if it does not contain microscopic particles is just an assembling grease?) or Effetto Mariposa's Carbogrip.

I have heard some products are too corrosive and can actually scuff components. Carbon paste is not corrosive, but it is designed to scuff components. That's how it works. Just don't shove your seatpost all the way in and lift it out again and you'll be fine.

I bought a tube of Park paste but probably won't even start using it until next year? Then someone gave a 4 once tube from a European brand, don't remember the brand name, so at my age I will never have to buy carbon paste ever again. _________________ -For my next trick I will set myself on fire! -This board and the world in general would be a much nicer place if everyone could just take themselves a little less seriously. -Sticky Fingers John Rockefeller -First one over the cliff wins!

Ironically, sarcastic remarks like these are against forum rules. Sorry, John but you've just been caught red handed. Ciao, _________________ Being a snob is an expensive hobby.
