Author Topic: Century soundhead fluid Tim Androes Film Handler Posts: 34 From: seattle, washington, united states Registered: Aug 2015 posted 05-28-2017 11:41 PM                     what is the fluid used in Century soundhead dampener assemblies? (besides Century soundhead dampener fluid) 10 wt. oil? something more exotic?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-29-2017 05:12 AM                     It's silicon fluid, I think 100 CS... but I don't know where that number popped into my head from. I used to have a few little bottles of the stuff but probably tossed them out.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

When Century distributed it in glass bottles, they didn't even remove the label but just put a new label over top.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-29-2017 02:12 PM                     What Dave said. If you get the real silicon stuff it will also never dry up. Castor oil will eventually thicken and dry out. I think it was Wolk that use to relabel the castor oil, among other things.
