Very good results with slightly rusty cheap padlocks outside. Very handy
to have the permanently fixed straw (how long to you manage to keep yours?)

Sprayed them about a week ago, still as free as when sprayed. These ones
usually start to feel dry by now.

Once around the tin and straw with duck tape. They pull out easily enough
first time, and can be easily slotted back in.

Yet to find a use for WD40 when using duck tape however.

Is this about WD40 with small PTFE beads in? When I was a lad, you
could get a similar spray to WD40 with PTFE beads in. Can't remember
what it was called, but it was in a tiny black spray can.

I'm well pleased with aldidl graphite spray lubricant.
Cheesy cheapo padlock sprayed liberally internally with straw
thing 2+ years ago - still a doddle to open & close...

This is a new version is it?
I had a kind of puffer lubricant withptfe in it and it was also very handy
to puff inside door locks etc. That is the main component of Teflon I
believe?

Its probably dangerous if inhaled.

I remember now - it was called Tri-Flon. Still available, by the look
of things.

No, completely biologically inert. Only dangerous when heated above 350 C.

Seems OK on uPVC door multi-point locking, stinks like a mouldy old
dishcloth though ...
