Are you asking about lube? or penetrating oil? I don't consider any of
the products such as WD-40, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, Kroil, etc, to be
good lubes. When I want to lubricate something that is really delicate,
I fall back on the products put out by Bachmann (the model train
people). Those are real oils, non-sticky, non-spray, and terribly
expensive. But you know this already. You lived a former life with
sewing machines and know first-hand what the problems are with the
multipurpose oils.

Just wondering what everybody's favorite (non Gumming) spray
lube might be. I
say non gumming because I keep remembering back when WD-40 first came
out I was
using it on everything in sight. Lots of stuff got a little sticky...
One item
was an old portable typewriter that worked really great for about two
weeks
then started hanging up keys left and right. As I recall I finally used
some
kerosene on it with an eye-dropper. For most common stuff I just use the
generic Wally World "Tech" version of WD-40. It is OK for most stuff and
very
cheap.
For coarser stuff I like the spray "Lube jell" that I get from
Wally World. I
think it says "Primus" on the can.
I was just looking for something different for "delicates" (no,
not
underwear). :-)
