Most of you that have been riding a while have probably tried numerous different chain lubes over the years, like I have, and found that they all fly off and make a mess.
What do you guys think of using something like this - Hornady 1-shot -

In this test -
http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=3667 - it topped 45 other lubes/corrosion inhibitors.
Hornady 1-shot would provide excellent corrosion protection for the side plates as well as lubrication for the contact areas without being a heavy lube or wax that would fly off.
My only hesitation would be compatibility with the o-ring material.
I think I'll find an o-ring and soak it for a while to see if there is any effect.
The article did test the products for their effect on polystyrene (Styrofoam) -

It had no effect on polystyrene, which surprised me.
Ran across this test of other solvents/lubes on chain o-rings -
