I got my bottles of NeoLube from @mmagliaro Max and started experimenting with coating various ProJet/FXD and polyurethane resin parts.  On the ProJet stuff, I've found that the graphite will rub off the high points, such as the sharp relief on my EP-3 truck frames.  But I like the way it looks.  So I'm thinking a light spray of black to kill the white finish of the FXD before applying the NeoLube will solve that problem.  But it looks great and doesn't impede performance or conductivity.

NeoLube was painted onto the pilot decks on the visible areas only, while the main truck frames were dipped into the NeoLube bottle.

Nice dull greasy finish!  I have found that if you let it sit for a couple days without handling, it is less prone to wear.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
