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!

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.
