npub1rmyfvnckrhuf7ecgel8rgljq224mnsfl636r4t3qdz8p7y9ysdeq4j6xpc (npub1rmy…6xpc) Sticky grease can be helpful for making a movement easier to control. But when it degrades it sets hard – it's meant to be removed and replaced before that happens.
If you're not overly concerned about historical veracity, a silicone or lithium grease is likely a good place to start. But look up what you can about metals conservation; there may be explicit cautions out there from people who've encountered bad outcomes. We don't have a conservation school in NZ; closest is Melb.
