A reel lives around water, salt, sand and grit, and it fails in two places: the rubber seals, O-rings and plastic parts dry out and crack, and the metal gears and bearings rust and grind.\u003c\/strong\u003e This collection covers both with two oils, each matched to the part it suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gnp-defend-silicone-oil\"\u003eSilicone Oil\u003c\/a\u003e is for the rubber and plastic parts.

It's chemically inert and won't degrade any of these. Apply to cam axles, cable slide rails, and limb bolt threads. Never apply directly to bowstrings or cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan I use it instead of WD-40 on my compound bow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes, and you should. WD-40 is a petroleum-based solvent that evaporates quickly, leaves a grit-attracting residue, and can degrade rubber and composite materials in modern compound bows. GNP Defend Silicone Oil provides lasting lubrication, doesn't degrade bow materials, and leaves no sticky residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eIs it safe on plastics and rubber?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Unlike petroleum-based oils, silicone oil does not swell, crack, or degrade rubber, polymer, or plastic components. It actively preserves rubber elasticity, making it ideal for O-rings, seals, polymer cable slides, and composite cam surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eHow often should I apply it to my compound bow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eApply to cam axles and cable slide rails approximately every 1,500–2,000 shots under normal conditions. After hunting in rain, dust, or extreme cold, inspect and re-apply sooner. Apply to limb bolt threads whenever adjusting draw weight or if bolts feel stiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan it be used on airsoft O-rings and seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — it's specifically designed for this. It maintains O-ring elasticity, reduces friction in valve and bolt assemblies, and protects seals during storage. Apply a small amount to O-rings during maintenance or before storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eDoes it repel moisture and prevent rust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. The silicone formula creates a hydrophobic film on treated surfaces that repels water and blocks the conditions that cause rust and oxidation. It's particularly effective as a pre-storage treatment on metal components exposed to outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for use on optics and painted finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. It's safe on anodized and painted metal finishes and won't affect optical coatings on scope lenses or sight glass. Apply externally to lens mounts, O-ring seals on scope tubes, and any metal-on-polymer contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the temperature range?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eGNP Defend Silicone Oil remains stable and effective from −58°F to +392°F (−50°C to +200°C).
