Hello Someone suggested powdered graphite but from my experience graphite attracts dust. I tried Dry Moly which does not attract dust but it did not seamed to last long. Automotive door hinge grease maybe another solution. However after a little research in the carpenter world, I discovered pure beeswax available at Rockler. I said to my Honey, I will try the Bees Wax! Purified Beeswax | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware So I banged out the pins and buffed them up and I am giving the Bees a chance? The wax is very hard and may last quite a while! Before BeesWax After BeesWax Anyone else have a good long term solution? Pic 1 - Pure BeesWax (not exactly the one pictured on the web site but the same price! ) Pic 2 - Bang out the hinge pin Pic 3 - buff pin clean on wire wheel Pic 4 - add BeesWax and push back in. So far no squeaks see vid 2
That sounds like a great idea. I went around with a spray tin of squeaky door spray that my BIL had. I can't find it right now for the real name of it. We also have a product called McLube It is a dry spray used on sail tracks on a sailboat. Works really well. It can be used on zippers without staining the fabric.
umm I hate to admit it but I use ski wax cause it's clean and on hand usually looks like a bar of soap
I bet that does a great job! Something like this? Burton Rub-Down Wax | Burton Snowboards Winter 16 How long does it last?
