I have been using graphited lock lubricant, like "LockEze" on the contacts and non rolling element bearings on tuning condensers. Once applied, and the carrier evaporates, it leaves the graphite behind, thus no "wet" lubricant to attract dust and dirt. Has anyone else tried this technique? Are there any problems that you see with this type of lubricant? The fluid seems to penitrate and carry the graphite into the bearing surfaces.
