Abstract
In a method for lubricating articles, a liquid composition including a gelling agent dissolved in a lubricant is applied to the surface of an article and caused to gel on the article. Gelling may be induced by applying the liquid composition to an article at a temperature below the gelling temperature of the composition, or the article coated with the liquid composition may be cooled to induce gelling.
