Default Hinge squeak lube advice

Graphite.

Maybe mixed in with axle grease?



Wax might be a better choice. Melt the wax, mix in some graphite, dip the
disassembled hinge parts that have been cleaned (carb/brake cleaner) and
dried, and then reassemble after cleaning the wax off the outside of the
hinge.

That would probably be effective and long lasting, but messy.

You might do almost as well taking the hinges apart and smearing on some
chap-stick with a q-tip.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
