Yep, top and notches, then Dag - or not.

A quick pass with spray Mclube knocks off the gloss in the notches and 
lubricates the top, Dag or not. Or Dag top and a satin varnish sanding 
sealer brushed on the notches. Yes, it's soft, but why would it need to be 
hard?

It sure does, and it sure is.

Interesting thought. The plating could be a harder material too. I wonder 
how it would wear, and how it would react to filing the tops (if you do 
that). Where are those oversize Titanium bridge pins when you need some?
