Clive Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 1 hour ago, standardthread said: An alternative to graphite is PTFE spray, Screwfix used to sell it for lubricating circular saw blades and other woodworking cutters. I have a can of WD40 PTFE spray. It is useful stuff, I use it regularly on sticky curtain rails (spray onto a cloth, you don't want that on customers walls!) But PTFE is great suff, and it should be ideal for a starter. No idea how long it would last (or indeed how long Graphite stays in place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I tried both PTFE spray and a dry lube moly spray. Graphite powder was waaay better. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty strong springs though and not sure how they'd go back! You can get a specific spring compressor for these - between 10 and 20 quid I think.
