Silicon Lubricant - A Button Maker's Best Friend... March 01 2013
Panef White Stick Lubricant with Silicone - Perfect for lubricating button makers.
Fixing or repairing a button maker can be tricky. Lot's of spanners and wrenches and all kinds of tools. But some problems are fixed without needing tools. The answer can be as simple as lube for your machine. But when fixing your button maker or making buttons NEVER use WD40 type products - they are designed to remove lubrication and rust, you need to add lubrication. Don't use oil and grease on your dies - it will mess up your images. Use silicon lubricant in a lip balm or chapstick style tube like this: The aerosol silicon is not so good for this particular issue - but is good for cleaning.

Over time a button maker will become unlubricated and produce mylar sealing problems (pictured above). This white stick lubricant will combat that problem - simply lubricate the upper die on your button maker. Be sure to wipe the grease off of your first few buttons after application and you should be good to go.
