Nice job. I'm glad someone else uses the term "copper slip" instead of "copper grease", I've never seen anyone else on the internet other than me call it that.

The only thing you need to work on is the video quality. I'm not sure if it's a camera setting or something in video editing, but whilst your output is set to 1080p60fps, the bitrate is so low that it may as well be 360p.

I think "Copaslip" is a registered trade mark of Molyslip Ltd. Other manufacturers use the term "copper grease" - I think the tin I have in the garage at the mo  is Carlube. I've always tended to say copaslip though - bit like all vacuum cleaners were Hoovers once, and all electric drills were Black and Deckers.😀

People laugh when I say I've just been Sharking the floor...  I'm sure it'll catch on one day... :wink:  

I'm not a fan of the phrase copperslip...sort of implies it's a slippery lubricant which it isn't...  If it's a brand name, that makes much more sense though!

NIce video, though I confess to turning the 'mute' on - most music irritates the t*ts off me!

See that's what I think when I hear copper grease! Ive seen used bearings packed with copperslip and it doesn't look pretty. Its definitely not a grease as it doesn't really lubricate, more of an anti-sieze.
