With the thin film left on the axe head, I've never seen any sign of gumming up. But even if I had, the first use would eliminate that problem.
Agree. I like that I can use it near/on the wood of my firearms that have nice wood. Including on metal in close proximity or underneath (eg under a wood grip on a revolver).
I've seen some gelling up of the heavier component at the nozzle of the aerosol can. Never in use, probably because it's used sufficiently thin.
I use slip 2000 where I need a lube.

As Astro14 said above its excellent for conserving/storing tools/weapons/....
Its excellent to lubricate anything on my XC bike (except for brakes
and a chain)
I don't think I've seen it as thick or tenacious as Vaseline like. And with a finger spreading it, it spreads and liquifies well as far as I can tell...
