What is the consistency of Eezox after it settles? Is it a paste, film, does it dry like paint or varnish? Does it or would it last on a chain? I googled out that they market a version specifically for bikes/motorcyles, but I could not find any reports of practical experience with the use on chains.
Ya, Eezox really isn't on most peoples radar, especially in our bike community. They really need to step up the marketing. Eezox dries with little or no smell and no noticeable film. When I first put it on our firearms it does have quite a smell but not harsh and the only way I know it's on there after it dries is to take a really good sniff of the metal it's on. I haven't used it as a lubricant on bike chains, just as a rust inhibitor or dry lube where there isn't much need for a cushioning wet lubricant. We have a small can each of the firearm and bicycle formulas, and don't really notice that much difference between the two. Maybe the bike one is a little thicker, but both are very very thin and a drop goes a long way. The fishing reel lube might be thicker yet, but still a very thin wet lube.
Come to think of it, I did use Eezox on my 1990 Rapid Fire shifters. They were gummed up and so I completely flushed them with various solvents, then used Eezox Reel lube, but even though they were very snappy, I didn't like the rough feel so put some chain lube to smooth them out.
