LOL you know my first thread was about Lubricant. Except I used light vegetable oil but it was only bad if you put on to much on the gears. I dont do it much now.

if u simply scrape off graphite from a pencil it wont be as hi quality as if u get it from a store or company.my dad gets it from work and just the tiny amoutn that leaked out of the jar made it hard to hold on to.its an extremely good lube for most applications. graphite shaving will provide lubrication but not as much as finely ground store bought graphite.
