What lubes are safe on snowboard binding plastic?

[Benny Profane]

Dug an old board out of storage. A '93 Burton M6 with the high back soft boot bindings. Comfortable carving. Wanna take it for a ride, but the high back binding hinging is difficult, after all this time. What's a safe lube to help break it back in?

This.


Plus it masks any lingering "fishy" smell you may experience when riding older equipment.


It's your basic win win.

You shouldn't have to deal with this sort of thing. Send it back to the warranty dept, maybe you'll get a new board.

Whatever approach you take, make sure that it's safe. We wouldn't want you to fall on offload ramp.

To answer OP's actual question, I would think any silicone based grease would work. Maybe something like Sil-Glide?

G3 sells tubs of plastic-safe binding grease.

Lube may be the least of your concerns relative to 24 yrs of ozone exposure. YMMV.

WD40?
