People are gonna tell you no, but there was a post a few years ago where someone did an actual comparison over short and long term use and found that there was virtually no difference to krytox when applied correctly. Anyone who's tried it that says otherwise either used too much or mistakingly used the wrong formula. Also, I see someone said you only have to lube once, and while I think it's excessive to do so, if you want your board to be absolutely perfectly tuned forever, you will need to re-lube every 2-3 years, but it really isn't worth the effort.
