What kind of lubrication do you use on your graver?
I have tried using Kerosene (really smells), Magic*Tap, Rapid Tap (bad smell), Liquid Bur Life, but lately I've been using Bur Life (the solid type) with the advantage of not losing my layout lines. I can't say I have any objective measure that any of these lubricants have made much of a difference in the lettering I do with push gravers on copper.
What do you use and why?
