Hee- hee - will we ever grow up enough to stop laughing at nut jokes? No, I don't think we will. :D

For the little it's worth, I just rub the tip of a sharp graphite pencil in my nut slots and it seems to provide all the slippage I require. If you need more than that my email spam tray seems to be bombarded with likely sounding offers...

Cheers - C

I like GraphitALL better than the NutSauce. It stays where you put it and works very well.

With all the nut jokes flying around I went to the nut sauce link from above and was greeted with

Big Bends Nut Sauce, Groove Lubber and Bench Lubber, LOL...

Anyhow, how many applications do you get in the Groove Lubber size? Roughtly of course.
