Thanks to all that responded. I purchased a block of bees wax at a sewing
store many years ago. They used it to lubricate thread and needles. I got it
to lubricate my 100% wooden, four drawer, WWII vintage, olive drab (original
color) file cabinet. It holds the pieces together but once the wax is broken,
it glides very nice, very fast. I wax nails before using with hard wood and
very long screws (over 2 inches). I also use it to lubricate the bottom seal
for my back door. (On the north side in Milwaukee, WI.) It provides a nice
lubricant that stays there no matter how cold things get!
Bees wax as a tap lubricant. I hadn't thought of that.
I will get more taps someday. Right now the 0-80 I purchased years ago and the
pair of 0-80 I inherited from my father have me well stocked. Do taps go dull
when only used to tap brass, copper, and plastic?
