I’m sorry that I have not been following this thread very much other than to know that the basic problem is to find a non-aerosol product that can be shipped of the States. So, that said, let me offer my two cents worth and hope that I have something new. I suspect that Dyna Glide is just a dry film lubricant in an aerosol can. The Google breakdown on dry film lubricant products shows them to be a dry lubricating material such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), PTFE , Teflon, or Graphite that is in a carrier/binder which I will call a paint. But, I don’t have any idea what the Dyna Glide formulation uses. The lubricant is mixed into a paint which acts as a carrier for application that dries to the surface to be lubricated and holds the dry film lubricant in place. It appears to be the requirement to be painted on that drives these products to be sold in aerosol cans, because the very thin uniform coatings that are desirable should be sprayed on. I did find two products that were sold in quart or gallon sizes, obviously not aerosols. The SLIP Company sells a graphite dry film which they list as brush on, but it may have two problems. It is flammable, and I have no idea if the graphite will be bound tightly enough so as not to be messy in the shop. We all remember the little squeeze bottles of graphite lube for speedometer cables, and what a mess that is. The McLube Company sells the molly dry film lube (MoS2) in gallon cans, and it is in a water based formulation. I suspect that this may be a best bet if the price is not too high. There was one silicone dry lube in a pump spray, but the silicone causes finishing problems and is best kept out of the shop. Better check that Endust for silicone. Bill Hallow

I just got done in the shop, the Endust idea was tried, Although it is half of the price of Dyna-Glide and smells nice, I am sorry to say it is a far cry form replacing Dyna-Glide as a lubricant on the Legacy. It just did not do a very good job comparatively. But thanks for the idea, My Wife likes the Endust. So it wasnt a total loss. ;-) C.A.G.
