I would ask Martin or John.  I think they were using light machine 
oil at TrontoII.  I would guess that if it gets on the rubber, you 
are fucked.

Something *very* light, like gun oil. And use it sparingly. It gets
*everywhere*.

I've got a light oil in an aerosol with a spoot; it's great for those tight 
spots in two senses. I've lent it to trumpeters aswell. the spraying bit is 
only occasionally useful, but a gentler push can make the oil dribble slowly 
down the spoot so it can be applied by remote control sort of thing. needles 
to sew, I'm not going near it or the 'tron in this state.
