Water in moderation. Alcohol/water in a proportion a good bit lower  
than 50% water. Steam in moderation. Certainly not pure liquid water  
on hammers (or 75% or more water, as VSP), nor prolonged saturation  
with steam.
	Same thing with centerpin bushings. A little water is needed to  
shrink them. Too much will go too far. VSP is too much water.
	People considering using VSP should think  of it as if it were 100%  
water. How would you use 100% water? Me, I wouldn't apply straight  
water to hammers.
