Ive got about an ounce of Mr Zip extra fine dry graphite in a squeeze

Noticed art supply graphite crayons that might be easier to apply. Would
they be good candidates for hinge lubrication?

Next time I try this I may just wet some of the powder to spread with a
flux brush.


How about some high temp, auto type grease instead? They have brake grease
in small one use packets, for example.
