You need to read it again scrollerman, what Geoff is saying is that the clear tape you cover the pattern with helps to lubricate the blade, do not lubricate the blade itself.

Silicone releases friction, it is not a lubricant.
You can even take a can of silicone and before you put it on the wood, spray a very little mist on the pattern, put glue on the back and glue it on the wood. The Silicone was dry before I knew it and no residue got on the wood.

Maybe I should have been more specific in my reply. It does not take a university degree to understand what I was trying to get across as some of those who replied to your question Roger did not seem to grasp the meaning. Its not rocket science to understand such a simple thing. Packing tape serves several purposes when cutting hardwood as I have explained. What I should have said when I said NEVER lubricate the blades was that never put oil or grease on the blades, not only will it stain the wood but it is doubtful if the blade would stay in the clamp when the saw is turned on.
