White Lithium Grease for lubrication?

Anyone ever tried this for lubricating moving parts of styrene? Did it do any damage to the plastic?

TIA,

Jim

I wouldn't use it on styrene, the solvents in the carrier may be too hot for styrene since they're probably petroleum-by products of some sort.

I think Tamiya makes several lubricants for RC cars that are safe for plastics.

I haven't had a problem with lithium grease and styrene itself - but forget any paintwork it touches. It will strip that most efficiently.

Lith is ok, it just depends on what the carrier is. I stick to graphite.

...wait... I use graphite...
