Hi Chaps

Reading the chat regarding Moly2sulphide and lubrication in general with interest.

I have a tin of Molybdenum diSulphide powder. Any suggestions as to suitable uses?

regards Martin

It's good for lubricating lathe slides and plain bearings, but a bit messy when the oil mixes with it.

Good for lubricating gun mechanisms too.

You can use it dry in locks.
