Graphite greas is powdered graphite mixed in grease, just like it says. (has a certain symetry doesn't it? %-) ). Dag is NOT graphite grease in that it doesn't contain any grease. Since it DOES contain graphite, it's graphite... er, something else. I don't know what the vehicle and binder is in Dag, but there is one, and it ain't grease! Does anybody know for sure? I'd love to be able to whip up a batch of something quickly for those times when I find my Dag has developed "dried lake bottom" syndrome since I last used it and I need something right now. Errata: I'm told that "stale beer" was used as a binder for graphite in times past. Sounds like an excuse to me. Any port in a storm, and all that.
