FastRodriguez 0 #1 February 5, 2013 Afternoon guys :) I have purchased a new rig and I need to buy a few bits and pieces ( Packing mat, rubber bands, lubricating spray, perhaps an audio at some point). I purchased my G3 from the good people at chutingstar and even though their service was absolutely perfect, the customs in europe are no so nice and they made me pay a ridiculous amount of money in taxes and other things. The shipping adds up really quick too. For example , The quote i got for sending a 50 usd packing mat was 41 usd, bringing it to a grand total of 91 dollars, add taxes to that and ill have a 150 Euros packing mat. Im looking to order from a nice store inside the Eu so i can save on taxes and the like. Any suggestions are welcome. Best regards G."I don´t stop when I am tired.

FastRodriguez 0 #8 February 6, 2013 Ha ha! Im a fan of KY jelly myself. But i was thinking on my yellow cables. Would be pretty epic to be able to lubricate both my Girlfriend and my Rig with the same stuff though "I don´t stop when I am tired.

To the OP, both WD and silicone are available at most hardware stores here in the US."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #11 February 6, 2013 Quote in Europe too I would think that they would be, but I'm not there and I don't know for sure. So I include the qualifier. I knew perfectly well that someone from over there would give an accurate (and smartass ) response."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

FastRodriguez 0 #12 February 6, 2013 Thanks again. I have read a few posts on previous threads and some people seem to hate pretty bad on WD. I think i will go for the silicone Spray. I guess its the same type people use to protect their scuba diving gear. I dive a little myself so I know where to get it now. For every thing else, Wingstore.aero has me covered. I really really really need to stop this shopping spree though. Skydiving gear is sooooo cool, sooooo nice looking, and I want it all!!!! I have gone through a year worth of savings in a few weeks. This is gonna be fun when I tell my Girlfriend she aint getting a ring anytime soon since all my money went into buying a glorified back pack *Edited to correct some awful spelling "I don´t stop when I am tired.
