LUBRICATING DOORS
Beeswax is used frequently to lubricate striker-plat.es, locks, and bolts on the doors of motor-ears, as it will not soil flothing. Tho ordinary way of applying the wax is to rub it on to the surface which is to bo lubricated. A better way, however, is to dissolve enough wax in some benzol to make a thick Mqiiid. This can be smeared over the surface easily, and when tho benzol has evaporated, will leave a coating of wax which will cling better than the ilakes left by rubbing on pure wax.
