lubricate the buttons

9 posts
  1. What is the best way to lubricate the buttons on the housing?

    using the same grease that is used in the o'rings, or vaseline medicinal liquid?

     

    thx in advanced

  2. Same as the housing.

     

    If they really need lubricant then it is best done by completely stripping the buttons out - and to be honest while they are out, replace them with new ones.

  3. My housing is a Patima one, and Patima does not provide spare parts so fast as that

     

    thats one of the reason my next housing will no be a Patima one

  4. HI is their any imformation from the housing manufacturer about maintance. I normally push the buttons when

    washing the housing when I get back home to give a proper wash. Todate I have not had any problems.

    DO NOT USE ANY PETROLUEM BASED lubricants on rubber. It causes them to degrade. Obviously you don't remember sex ed classes on vaseline and condoms. ;)

    Always use silicone based products on rubber o-rings.

    Only if the fish in the viewfinder is particularly attractive, and it's probably best to avoid the sequential hermaphrodites...

    Hi,

    I am using Patima housing & I am getting spares for Patima fast.

    It maybe had to do with your dealer or your location if you were not

    getting it fast.

    Pls, drop me a PM on here w/ which parts do you need + your contact info

    & will try to get it to you asap.
