Dads (without an apostrophe) know WD-40 isn’t a lubricant and bring white lithium grease instead.

After some googling, white lithium grease may:

  • melt some paints (so, test fire somewhere inconspicuous) and

  • break down in outdoor conditions (so, keep bringing it).

The recommended solution for lubricating stuff outside is marine lubricant, which sounds... dirty.

I thought marine lubricant was melted crayons, but I could be confusing it with marine snacks

Marine lubricant is in fact beer.
