Gang,
I just wanted to second Jim W's plug for Teflon dry film lubricant. The
stuff I use is Dupont Teflon Multi Use Lubricant which I buy at Lowes.
I buy it in the blue 4 oz bottle but it also comes in a spray can.
Like Jim, I first bought some after it was recommended to me for auto
pistol magazines, but it has since become my lubricant of choice for
latches, locks, slides, screws, etc.--anything that needs lubricated but
I don't want to collect dust like oil or grease will.
It goes on as a think white liquid about the color and consistency of
milk, but after the volatile solvent evaporates it leaves a very thin
dry film that is slippery as all get out.
I always carry a bottle in the Airstream. . .
See you down the road,
