Yeah, not where I assumed this thread would go. EDit: Oh, powdered graphite works for me. |

BUMP I just ordered some Molykote 44, if its for airplanes than it's exactly what I was looking for, I used graphite on my OMNI-2 joysticks and it works for 2 days but then gets worse than ever, I'm hoping to get my sticks smooth as silk again and not making so much damn noise :) |

The Molykote will be good. It's basically the same chemical make-up as the "official" Shin-Etsu joystick lube. For best results I'd take the sticks apart and use rubbing alcohol to completely clean everything and remove the old grease, before applying the Molykote. |

I put some silicone grease in my U360s over 6 months ago and haven't had a problem since: http://www.lowes.com/pd_53861-1366-88693_0__?productId=1092167&Ntt=plumbers+grease Less than $4. |

I use high temp lithium wheel bearing grease on my firearms. just a little dab'll do ya .. i'll try that first if I ever run into this issue with my sticks. $7 for a tub of it at your local auto parts store. |
