Is anyone out there using Super Lube while shooting suppressed?

How does it hold up and does it keep the carbon in suspension for an easy clean-up?

I wont be using it suppressed but I just got a bottle of the PTFE oil to try out.

There was a member here a few years ago who did some carbon burn test on the grease and it seemed to not burn off as quick as others he tried.

Test wasn't very scientific.

He used some aluminum foil with some gun powder and lit it, and let it burn all up over some SL grease.

A little late to the party, but...
I'm using Super Lube NLGI-0 grease on my bolts, but added a lot more Teflon to the mix.

You can find lab grade Teflon powder on eBay.
A full pound cost me about $35. Will last me years.
A 14oz. tub of Super Lube was a little less, but the NLGI-0 is a little harder to find, so I bought it directly from Super Lube. (about $20)
They have it all the way down to NLGI-000.

I added 2 heaped teaspoons to the 14ozs of grease, and mixed with my cordless drill, using a wing nut on a bolt for a paddle.
That took a while, but finally got it well blended.

I put it in 5cc syringes (also from eBay) so it is easy to transport in my range bag.
