I have baseboard hotwater radiators in my coop apt. The are about the same age as the building (40yrs). A few of the valve taps are a bit sticky and hard to turn. Is there a safe way to lubricate these? for some reason I seem to remember that you just dont lubricate these with oil, but I may be mistaken about that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
