If you have proper sealing, teflon tape under mylar, it is not possible to lubricate hinges. Use upper mylar to prevent water or dust entering hinge. Change everything after 3-5 years and lubricate using grease, not anything that comes out of spray can as it is only cosmetics.


Sure you can, if you want to, you stick a large hypodermic needle thought the teflon barrier tape and apply oil from a syringe.


Hole in airtight seal, interesting.
