Alonsos Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi On my 200p base I've fitted a 12inch lazy Susan and looking at getting 25mm round silicone glides (as I've seen in various posts) I've also seen in quite a few reviews of the slides that " the slides can be scratchy " has anyone found any probs re scratchy ??

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Are we talking silicone or Teflon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonsos Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yes thinking about it we are talking (Teflon) not silicone, well I was up at silly o clock this morningRegards Alonsos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonsos Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Re above post of mine I got the Teflon pads this morning for base of 200p Dob to calm down lazy Susan being too frisky ,I spent afternoon carefully measuring exactly spaced gaps to fit 6 in number, I adjusted the 6 pads to the same height as the lazy Susan ,wow it's all looking good so I carefully assemble the base and full of anticipation I gently turn the base and CLUNK WHOOPS !!The carefully fitted teflons are hitting the Allen screw heads under the top base section , my face was a picture ,Off come the teflons again ,gave up on that idea !! Back to the drawing board, ie plan B.Plus in answer to my own question the Teflons do scratch and mark surfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stout Porter Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm just wondering what lubricants people use on their lazy susans? I've just fitted mine and it sounds quite rattly and noisy, even in the house. God knows how loud it will seem in the silent garden at 2am. I'm thinking 3in1 oil wouldn't be thick enough to quieten it down, and grease might be too thick and stiffen it up too much? Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Drew Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 A heavy grease would probably be ideal used sparingly. It would quieten the bearing down and give just the right amount of drag to hold position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stout Porter Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's what I decided in the end. I greased it yesterday and it's nice a quiet and feels pretty good. It's got just enough stiction so I haven't bothered fitting the sliders yet. Got a few hours clear sky forecast for tonight so I'll see how it is.

Skipper Billy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 IKEA nylon chopping boards are an excellent source of wear pads, sliders, and many other things - 90p each !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
