Dear List:

I think maybe there must be another brand of graphite grease I don't =
know about, but, concerning "D.A.G." It simply is D-denatured, A-Alcohol =
and, yes, G-Graphite. The vehicle is the denatured alcohol (same as in =
Garfields pin-block restorer) The binder is the graphite itself-ever use =
a pencil on a piece of paper?   :-)   When it dries up in the container =
just add denatured alcohol and shake or stir well and it is like new. =
All there is to it ! end of thread for me.....    :-)
