Decided the subject needed to be changed. What Scott and some others say is true. And there have been many new spray lubes on the market in recent years, many developed for the aircraft industry, and one such is Boeshield. http://www.boeshield.com/ It is similar to LPS-3. There is also a spray made for RV slide-out rails and another made by Dupont, that has Teflon; "Dupont Teflon Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant". They are all in the $10 a can range, but Boeshield comes in other forms as well. Keep on lubing.
