Why would one "never know"? This is chemistry, not astrology. Graphene
sheets (the molecular unit of graphite) are quite stable and inert.

with all-ABS construction (although permanent surface discoloration is a
distinct possibility). I've never disassembled any pneumatic elements,
but do they have any sort of rubber bushings in them? Many oils could
definitely injure such components, rendering them brittle and tacky.

| Oil may work well on turntables, but don't use them for pneumatics. I oiled them with some kind of oil (I can't remember), and now they stick and stutter when you pull them.
