How do I apply Petrol-Gel?

Using Petrol-Gel on your cider press is quick and easy

1. Clean the surface
   Wipe down the part you’re lubricating (such as the Acme screw, bearings, or pressure foot) to remove dust, old grease, or debris.
2. Apply a thin layer
   Squeeze a small amount of Petrol-Gel directly onto the area. A little goes a long way thanks to its high viscosity.
3. Work it in
   Move the part back and forth to spread the lubricant evenly, ensuring smooth coverage.
4. Reapply as needed
   For best results, check lubrication before each cider-making season or after heavy use. Petrol-Gel is long-lasting but safe to reapply whenever necessary.
5. Store properly
   Keep the tube sealed and in a cool, dry place for maximum shelf life.

Pro Tip:

Apply Petrol-Gel before your first pressing of the season and again during peak use. This prevents wear, keeps moving parts operating smoothly, and ensures your cider tastes as fresh and pure as nature intended.
