Many years ago I was told one could use anti-seize lubricant, a silvery grease typically sold in auto parts stores to lubricate shutters, irises and other moving parts due to its ability to withstand high temperatures. One must use it sparingly or it will smoke as it burns off.
Others have said to use powdered graphite, but it does not seem to stick well to metal surfaces. Any ideas on this?

I apply the graphite to the surfaces using a carpenters pencil. Less

expensive, less messy, lives in my pen and pencil can, so it doesn't get
lost, and I can still use it to write notes.
