  I still say that  mineral oil or silicone won't cure verdigris. I've tr=
ied the silicone and toluene as Yamaha directs and it works in some slugg=
ish flange cases  but is also only a temporary fix for verdigris.  The mi=
neral oil I've not tried. How bout some feedback from you all with extens=
ive experience with it. Be specific.
  I'm still waiting for the feedback from Dan Reeds post last week

Terry,

The original research found this to work better at a concentration of 8
parts naphtha to 1 part silicone.  There are other variables that you can
get into but I've been working with a chemist on some of these particular=
s.
But maybe I can play with that more after next summer.

I'm waiting for my order of 100% Silicone Liquid, from Baldwin. This will=
 be
my substitute for the outrageously priced Protek! This is cut 20/1
naptha/silicone.
