Dri-slide: miracle in a bottle

Interesting! Where do you apply it, and how long does it take for the carrier to evaporate?
 
Anywhere you need lubricant, especially graphite. It's quick, although I haven't timed it.
 
Hmmm...a dry film lubricant...can I use it in my film holder to make the film slide in and out easier?

You can. It works best if you open up the film, and apply liberally by squirting it into the bag. Only do it under soft white light though or you will expose the film.

So does dri-slide have any applications to photography?

Camera repair. In some places it’s a good substitute for light grease on sliding surfaces.

I read this three times... and just got it. Very well played, sir.
 
I use another bicycle chain lubricant called Ice Wax on camera rails and on Grafmatic and Kinematic septa. Quickly dries to hard and clear.
