We used to make things in this country #325, Atlas Graphite Flakes


Not generally seen on store shelves today, apparently used as an oil additive, one teaspoon per pint of oil, introduced directly into the cylinders, or mixed with quick drying shellac... I can't read the rest of the directions- but the manufacturer is Atlas Asbestos, and we know where this is going...

  2. Used colloidial graphite on aircraft pneudraulic connections to keep from stripping the threads.
