Dave- Thanks for the reply. I searched a bit and found a number of people saying they used paste wax for everything on the vise and, since it seemed Paul might be doing the same, I gave it a try. We’ll see how it goes. Minwax Special Brown, since that is what I have. I used bearing grease on the two bolts that go into the tappings and that hold the retaining cage for the split nut and also used it on the washer and retaining pin at the end of the screw thread (same reason). Following your lead, I used my Phil’s green bike grease. I wanted zero chance of those rusting or otherwise freezing and they are not exposed to dirt.
