resize with less effort

A trick that I picked up from my 87 year old father-in-law:
Spray cases with "Silicon Lubricant". The carrier will evaporate, leaving a thin silicon coating on the cases which works great for resizing, and does not have to be wiped off. I have noticed no ill effects from firing these coated cases, apparantly it does not keep the brass from "grabbing" the chamber wall when it expands upon firing.
A 10 oz can can be purchased at Wally-World for around $3.
