60,000 turns in 5 years? How often do you change your strings? That is 32.8 turns per day, 365 days a year.

Dry soap and talc seems OK. Chalk can be gritty and may wear out your pegs and/or peg holes. I actually put quite a lot of peg paste on my pegs in the process of fitting them - it gets compacted into the pegbox and provides a really good basis for a smooth action. Wood-against-wood is not good. If anyone knows of a good recipe for a pale/transparent version of Hill's, please let us know.
