I sent an email to the manufacturer a long time ago asking what they recommended, but I never got an answer so I used lithium grease and it worked good. One trick I did figure out was using a small allen wrench to glob a little bit in each hole. If you just put it on the pin it all starts to wipe off as the pin goes in and you have hardly any left at the end of the pin that went in first.

When I pulled my aft deck off last week, the piano hinges had a little rust on them, so they were kind of squeaky coming out. I seem to remember somebody saying they had discovered the ultimate piano hinge pin lubricant a while back. Can somebody remind me what it was and where to get it (NAPA, I'm thinking)? If all else fails, I'll probably just wax 'em, right after I Scotchbrite 'em, but I vaguely remember somebody saying they had "just the ticket". I plan on putting it back together tomorrow night or Saturday and doing a cross-country to my father's farm on Sunday.
