Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / November 2007Is there a "grease gun" to inject silicone grease into waterproof housing slots?
Is there such a thing as a "grease gun" to inject silicone grease into the controls on my waterproof camera case? The lubricating slots are narrow and trying to lubricate those springs by squeezing on the silicone grease tube is like pushing on a string. Thank you.

Can't you just put a blob of grease onto the slot, then work it down into the spring using a matchstick or toothpick or similar? SignatureRegards, Chris.

And, warm the silicone grease in an oven before attempting the injection. It ought to 'flow' a lot easier. Jonesy -- Freediving with a digital camera.......
