Do you have a supplier and part number on the DOW 55? Nevermind, I had to try a bunch of search terms but finally found it. It is McMaster part number 1325K54 |

It is McMaster part number 1325K54 Oops, That part number comes back as: Seal and O-Ring Grease, Dupont Molykote 55, 5.3 oz. Tube It is listed as Dupont. Does anyone know if this is the same as the DOW? |
