Protek CLP

[Jon Page]

I use a hypo oiler to apply Protek to this felt. Just a few drops per unison
or a 1" line at the crest on both sides of the center string, between the
bichords and a drop on the singles. You do not need to saturate the area,
it will wick in.  I have to retreat  some in 1, 3 & 5 years.
