How to Get Tungsten Disulfide to Stick

    Buffing

    • 1). Clean the part with a rag to get all of the grease off.

    • 2). Mix the tungsten disulfide powder with rubbing alcohol in a small glass jar. Start by pouring in just a small amount of alcohol and mixing thoroughly with a spoon. Keep pouring more alcohol until you have a grey paste.

    • 3). Spread the paste onto the part and the buffing wheel. Allow them some time to dry thoroughly.

    • 4). Turn on the wheel and press the part up against it, turning the part and buffing it until the part is coated a grey color.

    Tumbling

    • 1). Clean the part with a rag to get all of the grease off.

    • 2). Put several of your small parts or bullets into the empty aspirin bottle.

    • 3). Fill the bottle three-quarters of the way up with tungsten disulfide.

    • 4). Place the bottle in the tumbler. Turn the tumbler on for approximately five hours.

    Add Tungsten Disulfide to Lubrication

    • 1). Clean the part with a rag to get all of the grease off.

    • 2). Mix some tungsten disulfide in with fresh lubrication, oil or grease.

    • 3). Grease the part, change the oil oar and apply the new lubrication. The tungsten disulfide will slowly coat the parts as the lubrication moves through the machinery.

    Sand Blasting

    • 1). Clean the part with a rag to get all of the grease off.

    • 2). Blast the part with a light layer of aluminum oxide.

    • 3). Clean the part off with a clean soft cloth so there is no trace of aluminum oxide powder.

    • 4). Set the sand blaster to 120 PSI and to cold pneumatic air. Blast the tungsten disulfide onto the part until the part becomes a silver-grey color.

    • 5). Clean the excess tungsten disulfide dust off with another clean cloth. Do not rub too hard or you will remove the powder.
