John said: "I remember someone saying that Renner bushing cloth was
graphited. 
I do remember some prepared Renner bushing cloth that I got at conventions,
was graphited.
I never had a problem, but some people apparently had sluggish problems,
that got worse the more it was played.
If it were graphited bushing cloth, perhaps there was an interaction with
the lubricant used.
So be sure to check before repinning."

John,
Both a good reason NOT to use Graphite in the piano...EVER! AND, not to use
the lazy way out and throw Lubes at a problem! I've, seldom had success
with the "Lube" thang. Have tried all of them at one time or another. Best
scenario is NO LUBE/PROPER FIT.<g>
Just my take on it, again.
