[APML] OT: draw tube grease



Hello APML:
     Does anyone know the brand of grease to be used on the draw tube of the 2.7-inch Astro-Physics refractors?  When I got my Astro-Physics  EDF refractors several years ago they had a grease on the rack and pinion gear that was less viscous than the grease on the draw tube.  The grease on the draw tube was a very sticky grease.  The grease on the draw tube is gone now and the focuser is stiff, even after adjusting the rack and pinion block as per Astro-Physics web page.
