But I can tell you.... the difference between doing that and what I got from a couple drops of CLP on the bushing cloth in addition was astounding. Course 10 days is not a test of time, and I will be interested to see how long it lasts. When I rebush both these instruments I think I will teflon the bushings before glueing them in, and then after they are dry I will add a drop of CLP or McLube to each. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
