Off beat question, but I'll be surprised if you guys don't have good answers.
I fly all things RC. One of my foam Sailplanes has precision plastic cladding at each wing root and same for the female receptacles in the fuselage. In other words, a plug-in setup. The surface areas are large and the tolerances are lean, so it's very nerve wracking to wiggle them together and apart. Any suggestions for a lubricant that is "usually" safe for what appears to be polystyrene plastic? I've tried powdered graphite but it didn't help much to ease the stiction. Have also waxed the surfaces with carnuba.
