Thanks, JJ. So lubrication is the secret! Something like LPS1 perhaps?

Britain.

Yep, LPS1 is available here via Amazon, though at about four times the
price of a similar sized can of WD-40. Is it really 4 times better?

LSP1 and WD40 are two different things! WD40 is not to be used as a lubricant. it is a fluid designed to displace water (WD = water displacement, trial 40) and it creeps into frozen or corroded joints. It evaporates easily - spray some on an open surface and see how much is still there the next day.
LPS1 is more suited as a lubricant. It leaves a dry, lubricating Silicone film.
