Binding lube: Moose? Mastercraft? Other?

[SkiTundra]

Been just using the Mastercraft squirt stuff since that's what the local shop stocks. Any recommendations on this vs the spray Moose Juice or other? The biggest problem I've had with the Mastercraft stuff is that the bottle doesn't really seal so we have to keep in in a baggy, bottle ends up covered with stuff, and it ends up getting on other things. Spray Moose Juice would seemingly be better?

Transfer it to a bottle/container/sprayer that seals correctly?

Another option is Biodegradable laundry detergent mixed about 3-1 with water in a spray pump of your choosing.

I use Newt Juice in the big plastic box with a sprayer hose attached. Mount the plastic box in your ski locker/rear storage area and run the hose out to the swim platform. Works great. Stays nice and clean.

I have a bottle of Connelly which doesn't leak and seems to work pretty well. Don't use it myself but have it for any guests if needed. Only downside I've heard is it isn't water soluble so your foot comes out easy too.

Barbasol. The shaving creme stuff.

Ivory (the white stuff) no phosphate diswhasing soap, seals well, and you can mix it about 50/50 with water. Best part, its cheap and easy on the bindings.

I use shaving cream as well. The cheaper the better.

+2. And it's cheap.

I use the Newt Juice. I transfer it into a spray bottle and keep it in a cup holder. I use about a 5:1 water to Newt Juice ratio. Makes it last longer and it's more than slimy enough to get into the boots.

I use wire pulling Lub taht I get at the hardware store for 3 bucks a bottle. Mix that 50/50 with water and add a splash of Ivory to break it up when you rinse it out.

Is the wire pulling lube oil based? If so, probably not a good idea.

Thanks all. Think I'm going to give a spray bottle of Newt a shot and maybe get their hose thingy.

The problem with dish soaps is that they are designed to break down grease and oils, hence they will help break down your petroleum based bindings, might not do it in a year but it will shorten the life of the overlays and toe/heel rubbers.

I used to use shaving cream with a rust proof bottom. My new boots don't require any lube!!!
