Subject: [C320-list] Turnbuckle Lube

The snow is beginning to depart the back yard, and launch is May 02; so the
mast will be up in just over a month. In the past I have found it difficult
to sufficiently tighten the shrouds as the turnbuckle barrels become very
tight. Is it recommended to lube the threads prior to tightening? What is
the preferred lube?
