Troubleshooting
Paste appears dry or difficult to spread
Ensure the container is properly sealed. If slightly dry, very small amounts of compatible mineral oil might be added, but this may affect extreme temperature performance. Ensure proper storage conditions.
Reduced effectiveness in preventing seizing
Verify that surfaces were properly cleaned and that an adequate, even layer of paste was applied. Check for signs of extreme contamination or exceeding the operational temperature limits.
Difficulty in cleaning excess paste
Use a clean cloth and a compatible solvent (e.g., mineral spirits) for cleaning. For hardened paste, mechanical removal may be necessary.
