thanks, Jeff. *your post was quite helpful (unlike some of the others

the latter made an attempt)) *will try the window defog preparation

Y'er welcome. *It's a common problem. *Incidentally, if you're going
to try making your own graphite conductive paste, don't get the bright

spherical, which will not touch each other, and therefore not conduct.
What you want are graphite flakes, which will overlap, and therefore
conduct. *Good luck.
Source for guaranteed "flakey" graphite ?

The author of one of the links I previously mentioned uses
* *AGS Extra Fine Graphite
from:
http://www.elementalscientific.net/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idProdu...

I have a small 4 oz bottle of graphite in the office I got from an
auto body shop. *They use it for lubing window and lock mechanisms in
the door. *It seems like a lifetime supply.

Doing some more reading, it appears that only some lock lube uses
spherical particles. *Most of the cheap stuff is flake, so I guess
it's probably acceptable to use.
