To use the Aervoe 8078 Dry Graphite Lubricant, first make sure the engine or mechanical parts are clean. Then, apply the lubricant evenly on the parts before assembly. It's great for a wide range of applications like automotive and industrial gaskets, conveyors, and more. Just keep in mind, don't use it on electrical equipment or machinery while they're running. When it comes to maintenance, since it has a dry, oil - free coating that doesn't attract dirt or dust, you won't have to worry about frequent cleaning. However, if you notice any decrease in performance, you can re - apply the lubricant. And always store it in a cool, dry place.
