List, I've just dressed a capo preparatory to restring, and am about to apply Prolube to it, with the idea it will ritard rusting/corrosion, cause strings to render better, and slow the production of grooves (less abrasion). I don't actually know whether Prolube will accomplish this, for how long, or whether there might be a better substance for the purpose. Any opinions out there? (I mean on this particular topic. I know there are plenty of opinions, and that Newton will tell me silicone oil is the only way to go - to eternal damnation, that is. ;-) Fred Sturm University of New Mexico
