hello,

I have drilled a hole in a flat parallel plier (damper type) to
squeeze a tad a birdseye if too tight (it avoid to push on the 2 sides
of the pin
 pushing on the 2 sisdes of the pin).

It may probably be used to work the flange laterally without
compression, more secure than with a screwdriver may be.

Best Regards.

Isaac Oleg.

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.
