Squeaky joints on mask???

Post by jerryinpa » Fri Apr 04, 2008 5:57 am

I washed my masks in a vinegar solution and now the elbows and swivels squeak.

Is there anything that they can be "lubricated" with?

Thanks in advance,

Jerry.

I use Osteobiflex for the squeaky joints in my knees but I'm not sure how that would work with the swivel elbow.

I heard some use plumber's teflon tape on those swivels but that is usually to stop air leaks ... may help with squeaks too though.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.
