Oooh, a science experiment! I'm in!
On the day I just "had to" change the lube in my machines, I was unable to locate Tri Flow lubricant which was recommended by this group. I called the bike shop (nope), the sewing machine place (they only use white lithium - yikes!) and finally a car parts store who assured me their product was just what I needed. I didn't have the patience to order Tri Flow and wait, I had to do it that day...
So I bought NAPA Sil-Glyde. It says on the package that it's non melting to 600 degrees and it contains silicone like the Tri Flow does.
Here's a picture of it before it got baked in my toaster oven.

Here it is after 5 minutes at 300 degrees.

To my eye it's not bad. Sure beats Vaseline.
(Tammi - does your toaster oven smell as funky as mine does now?)
