Post subject:  Nut slot files - Care and lubrication?

My files always bind when cutting string slots.
Is there a recommended lube?
How do you clean and care for them?
Thanks,
Dan

I use regular chalk on all my files. Helps keep them from clogging up.

I keep a block of beeswax next to my nut files.
