Verdigris

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Fred,

I read your past post about this, but you also said you couldn't
guarantee how long it would last. That's been a while ago. Can you now
say with assurance that it will last?

Hi Jim,
	I use Protek CLP with almost universal success - but you have to
work each 
flange laterally to get good and lasting results. Sometimes I just move
the 
parts with hands, other times I find it necessary to insert a fine 
screwdrive blade (the one I use for Steinway drop screws) between flange

and birdseye and pry gently (enough to cause definite movement of flange

cloth against pin). In really bad cases, I re-apply CLP and re-work the 
flanges. As I say, almost (not quite) universal success - at least to
the 
point of becoming a fully functional action.

PS I do not obtain success very often by apply CLP and working the
joints 
as they normally swing. If they free up, the result won't last, in my 
general experience. It's the lateral movement that has to happen.
