Rivet joint maintenance
I have some Micronauts and Micromen with rusty rivets in the shoulders and elbows. Is there a safe lubricant to use for these?

If the rivets are in metal limbs, a dab of WD40, sewing machine oil, or some other light industrial lubricant might work. If they're in plastic limbs you're kinda boned; since most lubricants will damage the plastic. (Eventually. It might not be noticable right away.)

Is Luber Sil a spray or in a tube? I've never seen it.
