squeeky joints

I have a Resmed Mirage Micro mask. I read on one of the posts that the plastic swivel area squeeks. Mine does the same thing. Does anyone have an idea how to lubricate these areas (can not take this area apart. . I don't think) without affixiating myself?

Thanks.

I recently attacked a noisy swivel on the somnoplus mask. This is what I did ---- by the time it was over problem was solved so I am not sure what part worked.

I sprayed cooking spray into the area (like pam canola spray but this was Safeway's own brand)

I nuked some water in a cup and then put the swivel into it (hard plastic and water was very hot but not boiling).

I shook off the excess water and oily mess, dried it.

By the time this was done, it did stopped squeaking. I think I did overkill.

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else suggested vegetable oil or KY Jelly. All worth a shot.
