Discussing with a friend my disassembly of some new/old winches - Lewmar 30 STs - and the arcane business of cleaning then re-greasing the moving bits with 'proper' grease, I recalled that WD40 is very much the wrong stuff, for solvents and other volatiles evaporate, leaving a poor lubricant residue that salt crystals adhere to, then become crushed, creating a 'grinding paste' of sorts.
I have various part-used tubs of greases and other lubricants, some inherited.
What are the congregation's choices for a 'light film of persistent lubricant' - and what is contra-indicated?
