Are you sure the G26 is not Molykote HP 300 http://www4.dowcorning.com/applications/search/default.aspx?R=498EN&DCCSF=253ENlolopr1 said:The appropriate grease is G-26 (dow 26) grease manufactured by Epson, the part # is E-B70260001. You want to use a very small ammount approximately 1/2 the size as the eraser of a #2 pencil. apply it to the top side of the rail and spread. you should just barely see the grease. Never use petroleum based oils in an epson printer. You can do more damage than good. Since I haven't been able to find this grease I been using for the past year paintball gun grease (dow33) on my Epson R1800 and R1900 with excellent results. You can find the paintball grease on ebay but for you convenience I supply you with the link of a seller. Good LuckManuchau said:

I haven't found the Dow G26 grease by google anything, and I would like to know it it's PTFE or Silicone?
Just tested G-26 is not soluble in water or isopropyl alcohol, but it is soluble in white spirit paint thinner. So I don't think it's silicone grease.
I also found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280646126932&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
Seems rather cheap compared for my G-26 from epson, I paid 2x more for 40grams.
