do you have a name brand for the stuff? I’ve only seen the regular Pam spray on stuff here…
I don’t think the stuff you spray in pans contains Teflon.
I wouldn’t want to eat the stuff myself and I don’t think the FDA would either. [;)]
I say give them all a try and see what you like best.
Try roosterfish’s vegetable oil suggestion, Vasoline, cooking spray and Needle Juice or Super Lube and see which one you prefer.
I imagine they all work to some extent.

I’ve read somewhere else about polishing needles with Micro-mesh. I’m gonna try it. They were talking about polishing the sharpened end too, but my guess is that part should be skipped & just roll the body of the needle through the pinched Micro-mesh.
Paasche has a 2nd needle for V fine tips that is polished. I think it should be the one & only needle that is sold for use with that tip. There’s just no point in a non-polished needle existing when there’s a polished one being sold.
Putting oil on the Omni 5000 needle smoothed it out a lot, but I bet I can get it more like Iwata smoothness if I polish it with Micro-mesh.
the Crescendo needles are already coated in Teflon according to the book, and they seem pretty smooth already… but anything that makes it a little easier to keep clean and smoother is nice… I might wait and see how the airbrush does after more spraying…
that’s exaclty what I was thinking… was starting to sound like Chirs (Salty) and his Tenax experience… lol!

I lost my head. Anyhow its the first mistake I made this year. The stuff im thinking of contains almost all canola oil. Your right about not eating teflon, but you know if you check the ingredients on a lot of the foods you do eat you may never eat them again. I had a tour of a hot dog making plant yrs. ago and it was not that long ago that I finally had a hot dog>
None of us are perfect my friend. [;)]
I know that a hotdog is basically a pig in a blender but they haven’t killed anyone yet…I don’t think. [:D]
I know what you mean though. [yuck]

Mike V,
Disregard previous. I hit the wrong key. This doesn`t appear to be my month.
don’t worry, there’s times I think to myself that this just isn’t my decade…
