"CEI Lube" - Eyelids

[Billy Bob Brockali]

Does anyone here know of a good replacement for the old "CEI Lube" that was used on the eyelids (according to the Blue Manual) of characters? Like many "proprietary" CEI things, I'm sure it was just something off-the-shelf that was repackaged, but I have no previous experience with it to know what to use as a replacement.

It's just good ol' ky jelly... :rollin (Seriously) PS- It needs to be KY. Vasaline is not a good sub.

Ky's water based...it'll just dry up in a few hours...??

[captslappy]

That's what it was. I promise.

Mmmm MMm . Nothing reminds me of a great homestyle breakfast than some dry white toast, fresh creamery butter, and good ol' KY Jelly. I have always loved the taste of my mother's 'Kentucky Jelly' but cannot find it at the grocery store anywhere.

I'll have to check. It came in a large blueish-green tube. Some kind of silicone gel.

[pizzacam]

YES...I knew it was some kinda gel..being as how I got it all over a shirt of mine fixing jasper eye one time.

[Billy Bob Brockali]

Hmm..

I have seen some silicone sprays and gels made by 3M on their website. Perhaps I will just try some of those, and see how they work.


Not to mention it will be less embarassing than going to get some parts for Dook, stopping by Walgreen's for some KY, and having to say "No, it's not what you think... It's for my dog!" as the clerk hits the panic button....

:lol :x

The cleaning/standards manual mentions #7 Clear Release Compound for lubricating the eyeballs and eyelids. I did an internet search and can't find anything on it, so I need to remember to look at the tube at the store!

[RodHouTx]

Just to confirm, it is Dow Corning #7 Clear Release Compound.

Cool thanks cause I wanna try to use what you're supposed to use according to the manuals etc...

[Snap]

I got about 10 cannesters of CEI Lube but Aaron had told me also to use KY Jelly if it wasnt available.

[RodHouTx]

So KY and the Dow Corning products are interchangeable?
:rollin

[pizzacam]

Yeah but I'd be scared to try the Dow Corning lube for the other thing :o :x
