Lubricant for Grafic RH/20 roll film holder

[MichaelGJ47]

G,Day All
While looking through an old manual I discovered that teethe sleeves at the end of the rollers are supposed to be lubricated every six months or so with a mixture of "Molykote type Z" and alcohol. Any ideas what this is and is it still available
Thanks

Molykote is a molybdenum disulfide lubricant. Z is a powder lubricant

Here... I googled it for you:

Personally, I’ve never lubricated the rollers on my roll film holders. I’ll have to check them and see if the need it. I’ll probably substitute a liquid Teflon dry lube though.

Thank You I just looked it up and they have it for about $125 Canadian for a very small jar I wonder if there is a substitute?

That is what I was hoping to hear

Much more affordable, easier to source, and the stuff is great for that type of application. I’ve used the WD-40 version and FinisLine, which is at every bike shop it seems.

Thanks that is what I will try
