Lube the technika rails?

[Lee Christopher]

As Glen mentioned before use only a thin film of vaseline. And never an aerosol. Also no oil because the break for the front standard will also be slippery too.

No offense Peter, but why not an aerosol?

I was thinking of spraying some dry moly in the gears on my next round of clean and lube on my view cam.

With aerosol the grease goes everythere but not where it's needed. Also the lubricant often corrodes the bellows, camera finish etc.

Better spray on a glass-plate and use a small brush to bring the lubricant only to the gear where it's needed.
