Paul said: "Burnish, and clean out the graphite gunk, with a soft lead (graphite) pencil tip. Paul, Methinks you don't know what "burnishing" means. A "soft lead pencil" is just adding more junk, that is not needed. Try cleaning all the crud out of the grooves with, first a special scraper and then a Q tip/alcohol swab. Then, if you insist...BURNISH with a piece of leather, to make the grooves very smooth! That's "burnishing"!<G> In a message dated 7/30/2010 9:37:57 A.M.

Patrick, You, also, are confused about "burnishing". Please read above. Regards to both of you, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
