Greased Pigs
https://renewablelube.com/
Mine's front and centre, 3rd from left, in the white container. Commercial grade, or otherwise something that wouldn't be commonly found. High-temperature breakdown rating, at the time I bought for a rotisserie oven in mind, or consequently food safe. Interesting stuff for a vegetative base. Packed a self-contained (without grease fittings) but squealing pulley sleeve with this lubricant, and appears to have a pretty good feel from usage, that it's going to hold a functional lubricity. For as much an afterthought after several trials from lighter and penetrating oils which failed to meet the application, including up to motor oil. Solid axle grease was next, and well may have worked, but by then I'd come to realize I'd also need to meet conditions for innocuous indoor usage and potential skin contact. A lubricant which as well looks suited for an alternative to try when attempting to rebuild fan rotor anchors. Something I tend do once they're locked, with varied mileage for some that rebuild nicely, while others are relegated and tossed. |

Presumably, the same page that's still legally binding reading material, unless it's fake news since the world was reinstated as flat by Trump. https://renewablelube.com/news/ "[...]environmental regulations for vessels operating in US coastal waters and Great Lakes.

I'd like to have some Tungsten Disulfide, supposedly the very best stuff for burnishing into the pores of, for example, camshaft lobes when rebuilding your engine. Tungsten has the highest vapor pressure of any metal! We love tungsten. My *favorite* lubricant has to be Castor Oil. When I get a whiff of burning castor, it takes me back, to my Hodaka almost 50 years ago. |

I'd like to have some Tungsten Disulfide, Many of the commercial specialty application lubricants listed, besides, do cost hundreds of dollars. Their 14oz. tube I have is priced at $11. Static and unreactive to human contact, from a vegetable base it's derived, it's effectively innocuous to indoor habitability. A load-bearing lubricant, then, for my 45lb. Olympic barbell, which I'll use when I pull and clean the collars for a fast, responsive, and quiet spin under plate loads. Then in turn, so to speak, to walk through sliding glass doors, from one carpeted room adjacent and into the next, where the same lubricant, for all I know, may apply without detriment to cleaning or conditioning a white leather couch. |
