Why do the pans need two handles?

AND Weighing / MX FAQ
When measurement is required repeatedly hot a sample pan should not be used since once the new sample is put on the hot pan moisture would vaporize, which makes measurement data inaccurate. To avoid this 2 pans and handles should utilized in turns, which not only enhances measurement repeatability and credibility but also prevent mishaps like burns.

What kind of grease should I use for my wheels?

ENGEL'S COACH SHOP
This is one area of concern that is sometimes made to be more of an issue than it needs to be. The old homemade grease mixture of lard and tar concoction, to the production axle grease, doubtfully compares to the quality of greases we have available today. The open boxing style wheels do require constant maintenance, but using a quality wheel bearing grease is, in my opinion, still far superior to what was available back when.

What type of grease should I use in my rotor?

Norm's FAQS - frequently asked questions
We recommend either a white lithium or green emerald. Under no circumstances should wheel bearing grease or any other grease with fibrous material content be used. We strongly favor the American brands. Before buying a rotor made outside the U.S., find out from the dealer or manufacturer what the availability of parts and service will be. Also talk to someone who owns one. We constantly hear horror stories from people who buy foreign-made rotors and can't get either parts or service.

Air, water and food systems from EnviroTech Group ? a distri...
Most restaurants generate 2-3 pounds of grease every day. This is becoming a major problem as the increased levels of grease in our water supply is creating a virtual growing field for bacteria. While the water treatment plants like some grease as it feeds good bacteria, too much grease can cause serious problems in the pipes between the restaurant and the treatment plant.

Do I need a grease trap?

Mcelroy-GREASE FAQ
Any establishment that introduces grease or oil into the drainage and sewage system in quantities large enough to cause line blockages or hinder sewage treatment is required to install a grease trap or interceptor. Interceptors are usually required for high volume restaurants (full menu establishments operating 16 hrs/day and/or serving 500+ meals per day) and large commercial establishments such as hotels, hospitals, factories, or school kitchens.

Do I really need to use a special grease on needle bearings?

Seiler Marine - Outboard Powerhead FAQ
Yes. It's a special grease that pretty much dissolves as soon as gasoline hits it. That's very important because it's what keeps the needles from sliding instead of rolling. As far as required lubrication goes, you could just use two-stroke oil, but the grease holds the needles in place, making the job a lot easier. I believe Mercury simply calls theirs needle bearing grease and OMC calls theirs Sealube.

How much Protecta-kote do I need?

Frequently Asked Questions about Protecta-kote
Approximately 0.5 litre is required for each coat per square metre. For normal use 2 coats is sufficient however 3 coats are recommended for areas of high wear. Therefore depending on the material and technique being used 1litre will cover 1-1.5m2 in normal use and 0.6-0.9m2 for areas of high wear. It is always better to apply many thin coats than few thick coats as this will give better overall cure times and better overall results.

Why should I use Dielectric grease, and on what?

Dielectric grease is a NON-conducting grease that seals out moisture and therefore prevents corrosion on electrical connectors. This also happens to be one of the main problems with older VWs, and currently one of the causes of bad idle/ecu (connector) failures. The jury is still out on this grease... some claim it will get hard. Others have suggested to use a conducting paste as used on aluminum residential wiring.
