Teflon spray

[Ray T. Bentley]

Elmer's Slide All is an excellent knuckle lubricant.  It was first
recommended to me by a company service tech, I think perhaps from Weber,
though not positive.  I've used it with success for several years.  It's a
teflon spray.  BTW, it also works well on action glides.
