Default Piano lubrication

I know that's the domain of the tuner/maintainer guy, but his neglect
doesn't cut it when it's time to record.

Is there a safe and useful spray or liquid I can apply to temporarily
silence the mechanism without causing any permanent mechanical or cosmetic
damage?

Use LPS 2 .. Use only LPS2 no other LPS product. This is a non oil, non
silcone product. I've used it for 34 years on all my woodworking
equipment. Leaves no residue on wood when applied properly and with
restraint. It does not attack lacquer finishes and can be easily wiped
of with a clean cloth. Recommended lubricant from almost all machinery
manufactures. Never use wd-40. This is not a lubricant It is a solvent
and desolves other lubricants.
