I know I read this somewhere but can't find it now.  After only 3 weeks being attached the dovetail saddle plate had become very much stuck to the top of the Dec axis of my new 1100GTO.  What is the preferred method to prevent this from happening?  I assume some form of lubricant but not sure what would be best.

Thanks

Wow I wasn't aware this could happen especially less than a month of the plate bolted on top 😳
