Manuel:
"Grease" en francais = "la graisse" ou "le lubrifiant (d'auto)"
Vaseline? petroleum jelly is a type of grease. Greases are generally like
thick pastes or jellies, or like a block of butter (beurre) at room
temperature. Greases can be of animal, vegetable or mineral origin.
You can probably find #023 Photolube (or something like it) at Micro-Tools
