So I switched over to cam-locks and find that they are pretty tough at times to close. Has anyone tried to lubricate them, maybe with keg lube or something similar?
This may sound like a smart a%& answer but not meant to be. If you push in firmly as you push cams down it should close easy, If not use a bit of graphite lube on the cam lobe. Being careful not to spray any in the fitting. Graphite lube is very heat resistant and lasts for years.
I use keg lube on mine, works pretty well.
Silicone o-ring will make them a little easier. As the cams wear in they will loosen up.
Keg lube as suggested works fine too. Vaseline on the cams will work if you don't have keg lube.
