What is a good lubricant for garage door rollers


boiled linseed oil works great, keeps everything from rusting.


And what do you do when it oxidizes and hardens? It's the basis of
real, old-fashioned oil-based paint. First it turns to something
like
the gunk inside the lid of a molasses jar, and then it turns to
varnish.

Eventually it hardens into Linoleum.
