How to apply WD PTFE spray on pellets

[Daval]

What is the best method of applying WD PTFE spray on the pellets? Do you spray the directly or lay them out on a flat surface. I am really new to air guns and this product was recommended to me by several shooters at my local range. Thanks in advance

I use small cardboard box, folded paper towel on bottom, towel damp with Ballistol. Add pellets and gently roll around, light coating only.

spray a 25 cent piece sized squirt on the lid of the tin, and GENTLY roll the tin around for a couple minutes to spread the lube

Label the tin as being lubed, so you dont grab that one expecting dry pellets

Id apply to a rag and tumble buff it on. (Back and forth shoeshine action)



That way you get lube on the heads and skirts and little to none inside the skirts. ( picture above I was a little heavy handed with lubing the rag )

Thanks for the advice. I tried the rag and tumble but the WD 40 PTFE is fast dry and too much wasted on the rag so I am going to try the large tins and see what happens.

Well the pellet should take what it can in a coating but, like my rag the excess will remain on the rag. I put the rag in a clean container with lid ( clean sour cream type). And reuse it over and over when I do another tin just giving it a spot of refresh lube time to time. I probably do 2 or 3 tins on the rag before I need to add a bit more lube to it to keep it " primed" .

Edit..

Anyway once I get the rag saturated just right then lube some pellets I just put that rag up and keep on reusing it . Just periodically checking with a finger rub on if I need to add a drop or two lube or still plenty soaked in to do another tin or 2 .. you really save on your lube use/cost this way instead of having a to start a new rag everytime..


That one rag as done a many a tin ... Many.

Anyway what you find best for you is best ..

Good luck.
