Plastics are notoriously bad at oil resistance and there is the problem (in my house, anyway) of dust and lint attraction.

My nuts, except one, are Corian (no wisecracks) and 3-1 works well to kill binding. I put it on and wipe it off immeiately with a paper towel leaving the slightest film. A friend swears by WD-40 applied with the WD-40 "pen"

One of the best ways to reduce string breakage is to lubricate the string/saddle contact point with a light machine oil (we prefer 3-in-1 oil because it contains anti-rust and anti-corrosive properties) every time you change strings. The oil insulates against moisture and reduces friction and metal fatigue. String trees are another point of contact and should also be lubricated; a small amount of lip balm applied with a toothpick works well.
