Just a cautionary note to be very careful what lubes you use around plastics. If in doubt, test with a tiny amount. An example of a bad/ignorant choice. I had one of those rubik cube puzzle thingys (with a million colored cubes that rotate around each other) that was annoyingly stiff to manipulate. So, on impulse, I squirted some silicon spray lube into it. It literally exploded in my hand. Some of the internal plastics were destroyed by that spray. A relatively cheap lesson for me. //Jack |
