Kirk,

Very nice rehab job! I'm impressed! I wouldn't have thought that there would be
so much to clean up in a vise!

You mentioned getting it to work a bit better after some lubrication. But the
major part of your restoration appears to be un-doing years of improper
lubrication. That raises a question in my mind:  What's the most appropriate
lubricant for a vise, and how should it be applied?
