Tight centers, etc.

[Richard Brekne]

While I usually read and nod appreciatively to Joes posts, this one I have to take a little exception to. Good quality bushing cloth is 
fine, but with teflon powder rubbed in it becomes absolutly wonderful IMHO..:) hehe... dare I say...grin.

I would use nothing else, having tried just about all there is to try and found all else lacking. And I would not use cloth alone. Its 
good...but this is better.

I get tighter fits with very stable friction over a wider rh range. And I have yet to run into corrosion problems of any kind..
