You may have some kind of "gunk" built up in the nut. Scrub it with a toothbrush and toothpaste, clean it out real well, you can use water to rinse it, but wipe it off clean and dry. Then, I've used graphite from a no.2 pencil...just "draw" in the nut groove. I've heard of using hand lotion, but I'd imagine that the lotion would attract dirt and dust and gunk up. If it keeps sticking, a good luthier or instrument repair man can touch up the groove with a fine file.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
