Hi again all.. I have another question regarding lubrication.

The powder works and works well. #1 reason IT'S DRY!. Lubricates good and it's plastic against smooth metal. Doesn't need much lube. Anything else will require constant sleaning due to dirt collection. Also during movement a wet lube will pull the dirt farther into the joint and GRIND IT IN! Dry won't do this nearly as bad.
