Needle lube

My wife has a product called "Blue Juice" that she uses on her French Horn as a valve lubricant.  I found it does wonders on my Badger 155.  So much so I had her pick me up my own bottle.  A few drops goes a long way.  

I usually don't use anything on the needle.  I figure lubing Teflon is kind of redundant.  The metal to metal surfaces in the trigger assembly might get a tiny bit of sewing machine oil or Chapstick.

I was told the Medea stuff doesn't get gummy.

I've used a very light coating of Vaseline for years now, applied only after a thorough breakdown and lacquer thinner cleaning. I do this after every "major" painting session, meaning a full day or a series of a few partial days when I've just done the usual run of thinners with an occasional quick. tip and needle cleaning. Works for me, maybe it'll work for you.
