Thanks for the reply Bill.
> find something sold in your area that is compatable with plastic.
Too bad I didn't try the silicone spray first. Maybe more promising.
Anyway, why "high temp" lithium? I think I have some spray lithium as
well as some in a tub. Are you suggesting to put this on the part of the
cord that rides the rollers?
BTW. I noticed one roller actually rolls. The second is fixed. Probably
the fixed one making most of the racket.
