What's on your workbench today?

I am playing around with an alternative lubing technique that, from what I can tell seems to have great results and is fairly easy.

I picked up some pure PTFE powder as well as some unscented paraffin oil.

I mixed about a 1/2 teaspoon of the powder in with enough oil to create a milky suspension.

Even is the paraffin oil evaporates, it will still leave behind the PTFE powder and is a possibility another option to something like RO-59’s cure time. This is a great option for combating stick-slip on switches that you may have or Frankenswitches that employ the same materials.

There are multiple options for both ingredients, but I went with these:

Anyone with any input or experience with this setup, please let me know if I am pursuing futility. :+1::+1:
