    Default Stop Sqeaking

    Can anyone assist to stop my squeaking axles.

    Have build small Walker/Pusher/Pram for a 2 1/2 years old girl.

    The wooden dowelling 1/2" axles are in four hardwood blocks.

    The blocks have been lined up so the wheels turn freely - but all blocks squeak.

    I have though of (but not used as yet) three suggestions.

    Vegetable oil and snow white petroleum jelly (being both safe for humans) - or silicon spray of some kind.

    I dont want to use oily stuff before finishing the final coat of paint.

    What do you reckon?????
