NO. Definite not. Don't even THINK about it.

You get silicone oil on a surface and it will slowly spread out until it
covers everything a molecule thick. Good for a lot of things, especially
high temperature things like printer fusers. Not good for anything near wood.

C'mon Scott, one molecule thick??? Not 2 or 2 thousand? Seems kinda hard
to believe, not that I have any idea.



There are different types of silicone available. The best of them (not
typically available at retail) contain no petroleum oils and are
basically silicone solids in a VOC or gaseous solvent. Can't speak to
usage on wood, but there is a _huge_ difference in how the dry stuff
behaves on plastic & rubber when compared with the typical auto parts
store junk.
