Powdered Graphite

There have, in the recent past, been posts asking about where to
find/purchase powdered graphite.

Just go my latest Brownell's catalog, and they carry powdered
graphite, in both a 0.32oz and a 1.4oz size. www.brownells.com

Manny, Moe, and Jack also carry it (for door locks.)

Try powdered teflon.... you can get it at model train stores.... the
advantage is it is white.

Our local "Ace" hardware carries powdered graphite.

Any decent auto supply store should have it. Having been in the automotive
business most of my career, powdered graphite was quite common to loosen up
stiff door locks.

I don't use it, but instead mix Moly powder in wax - MUCH better lube
than graphite, but it is a bit expensive. I get Dow Corning Z Moly
powder from MSC, or the Dow Corning 321 Dry Film Lub spray or LPS 842
Dry Moly Sprayfrom MSC for applictions where it would be difficult to
apply with a bruish or otherwise apply a wax-moly mix

Am trying some of the Dow Corning moly poweder mixed into BoeShield T9
for a spray-able solution to get both the rust prevention of the
BoeShield plus improved lubrication of the moly

Lowes has it.... try the lock (door knobs & such) section or near where you
local hardware store makes keys.

It comes in a pretty small size though.
