NO You want something that will not be oily or greasy as that will attract dust and dirt. The traditional lock lubricant is graphite powder, but there are some liquids with powdered graphite in them where the liquid carries the graphite in and then drys completely. These also work well, but you can buy straight graphite powder at the hardware store; it works well and is cheap. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
