Advice Needed

Hi,

As part of my next stage of learning I am going to work on some automatic movements I have, taking apart, studying how they work and putting them back together again. Up to now I have only worked on hand wound movements. One of the items I need to get is some braking grease to use on the inside barrel wall. I have been researching as much as I can and there appear to be two main choices - Moebius 8217 and Kluber P125. The Kluber is considerably more expensive, but if it is a good product I'm happy to pay as I imagine it will last a long time.

I'm just posting to see if anybody has a view on the subject, on these products or perhaps others not mentioned. Thanks

Stephen

I use moebius 8213 on barrel walls. Not too pricey and seems to do a good job. My 20ml pot will probably outlast me unless I find another use for it.

Thanks Marc. I wonder what the difference is? On Cousins 8213 is described as strong braking for brass whereas 8217 says anti-sliding, powerful braking for large walls.
