Laugh now; in 5 years you will need to hire a professional mechanic to
inject a mixture of high-temp. Macadamia Nut Oil and ambergris to
prevent micro-clutch seizure. Also a mandatory timing belt change for
EACH PegHed after 60,000 turns- ain't cheap!

Hill's is good, but it's dark brown, so for light-coloured pegs
(e.g. lemonwood) I find I want to use something else. Dry soap and
talc seems OK. Chalk can be gritty and may wear out your pegs and/or
peg holes.
I actually put quite a lot of peg paste on my pegs in the process of
fitting them - it gets compacted into the pegbox and provides a
really good basis for a smooth action. Wood-against-wood is not
good.
If anyone knows of a good recipe for a pale/transparent version of
Hill's, please let us know.
