Has anyone tried a light viscosity "nano-oil" for subject items. It may be a much better lubricant than WD-40. I use a Nye clock oil for fine mechanical applications, never WD-40. I remember coating some tools years ago with WD-40 while in the tropics and months later found them slightly sticky from the application. Frank J. Rochester, NY
