How to Dramatically Extend the Life of Your Convex (I Found a Great Tip!)

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Fuel Prices

Fuel prices are through the roof, aren't they!!!

The photo above shows a gas station at a highway rest area.

Nagano Prefecture has the highest rate nationwide!

That’s going to affect the construction unit price, isn’t it?

How about in your area?


But that's beside the point.

The other day, one of our executives showed me this at a job site!

This is a project that really made me think, “Oh, I see!!”

This person takes really good care of their things and keeps everything in great condition, which is a huge help.

And the maintenance is so perfect and meticulous it's almost abnormal. (It's a little obsessive, lol.)

Convex

An ordinary, run-of-the-mill convex scale.

If you use it for a long time, it tends to rust or stop winding, doesn't it?

In the end, I’d end up throwing them away without even finishing rolling them.

 

Please take a look at the photo above.

There's something different about it, isn't there?

Do you notice??

Convex Hole

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is it!

There's a hole right here!

Then you spray the lubricant through this hole.

 

This ensures that lubricant is thoroughly applied from the inside, which also helps prevent rust, and

Apparently, you can pour water in here to thoroughly rinse out the sand and other debris inside.

Be sure to use the spray after washing!

I actually thought this was pretty groundbreaking, you know~

Apparently, they’ve been using this Convex like this for over two years now, and well, the markings were just a little worn, lol.

 

Of course, the spray-type lubricant used here isDo not use Kure 556Please do so.

It's definitely going to rust, lol

Please use a spray-type lubricant that leaves a lubricating film.

GRP Oil Spray 300ml

I recommend this GRP and WAKOS's Rasupene, among others.

Wako's RP-L Raspen Odorless Penetrating Lubricant

 

When using Product 556, please make sure to use the type that leaves an oily residue.

If you don't, it will rust from the inside and the Convex will be ruined.

However, since grease-based products make it harder to remove sand, I think a light, penetrating oil is still the best choice.

 

See you later.
