I read somewhere in the past as an official "Legostatement" from TLC - that
no lubricants of any kind should be used with the gears, wheels, axles, pcs.
etc...
However, it sounds like some people have had success using controlled amounts.
I do know that oil molecules spread themselves out to 1 molecule in
thickness over time. and oil rots rubber. So I have always steered clear. I
am now leaning towards using small wheels as ballbearings in addtion to
Turntables.

| How about a water-based lubricant instead of petroleum-based? If it's safe for latex...why not ABS? :) Use it sparingly and only as a last resort. Personally, I doubt I would use graphite. Graphite would be a little too messy for me. -Troy (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| Greetings, Any suggestions to safely yet effectively lubricate technic turntables? I have four which are somewhat stiff and require a fair amount of torque to rotate. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Carl Jagt (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
