Herb,
TriFlo is pretty good stuff. Great for keeping bicyle
chains lubricated. Lasts a little longer that WD-40,
& a little more expensive. Has teflon in it. It's sold
in a black spray can. I don't think I would want to
use it to lubricate tenons on wind instruments,
though. Toxicity & all that. Lanolin or ordinary
cork grease, as some have recommended, especially
Jonathan D. (pure lanolin) which I want to try as
soon as I can find some, may be better, IMHO. We are
fast running out of corner drug stores (legitimate
ones, at any rate) in these here parts (central coast
of California)
Best,
john
