Will, I think you mean "Molykote", the trade name for the stuff.
But is that really it? I've got a few pounds of dry moly disulfide here
and it's nasty stuff--gets everywhere and is a black-silver in color.
About as bad as graphite. Gun people sometimes tumble their shells in
it. Don't ask how I know...
If this is a small job and you need a solid coating, have a look at some
of the moly-teflon rattle-can gun coatings from Brownell. You spray
them on, then bake them. The finish is very tough and pretty much
foolproof.
I've got a few HP slides from a storage array and I'll swear they're
just plain old electroplated zinc.
