:I read the word "graphite" mentioned in one of the replies. I learned the VERY hard way that graphite is conductive (I already knew it, just didn't think) when I used a oil/graphite mixture to lube some plate Voltage rheostat bearings in a broadcast radio transmitter. The stuff eventually ran across an insulator and had me up all night rewiring the resultant damage.
