wurly juice

My understanding was that the silicone would creep into the wood, metal
causing dust and gunk to form on those parts. I remember their 
application
was in the area of the damper flanges.  The squeeze bottle technique hit
the hammer flange, and often the damper lift rod area.

  After I moved from the Wurly dealer my lube of choice changed so I 
never
followed the lube long time results.   Your endorsement is reason 
enough to
revive the mixture.   Silicone used to come in a pint can, is that 
still available?
I am familiar with the silicone in a spray can for use on car door 
rubber lining.

How do you purchase silicone for use?    Any tips on mixing and 
application?

I think the recommendation was for VM&P naptha found in paint stores.

Thanks for your info.
