dyequilter Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 How do I lubricate my wheels on my Lucey that is Blissed? I have cleaned rails and wheels. Still a little sluggish. Love my APQS machines! Thanks! Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusanBee Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 On the subject.....can the Tri-Flow lubricant be used on my Lucey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Susan, I'm not familiar with Tri-Flow lubricant but I've never seen it used on an APQS machine. Take a look at the Cleaning and Oiling instructions that came with your Lucey - those instructions keep our machines ticking along as they should!

Cagey Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Tri-Flow appears to be motorcycle chain oil. I for one would not use it on my George. It might work, but why take the risk? Plus, I do not believe it would be an easy lubricant to get our of fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Probably a little light for motorcycle chain but definitely bicycle chain and cables. Tri-Flow superior is commonly used in the vintage sewing machine community. It is a very light viscosity oil that also helps soften up and flush out the years old oil that has turned to gum. It would work fine in our machines but my understanding is the PTFE will not pass through the wicks. So since you need the regular sewing machine oil for the wicks, why bother having two products when one will do. Now if I was servicing one of our machines that had been sitting for a few years I wouldn’t hesitate to take off the side cover and give the mechanicals a good soaking with Tri-Flow.
