<DIV>><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=-4>I like powdered Teflon in the
bushings. A pipe cleaner works great.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I do as well but insert it into a section of player tracker bar tubing as
a handle.</DIV>
<DIV>With only 1/2" protruding out the end of the handle, the pipe cleaner is
'stiffer'.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I've worked out a quick method of application:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Dip the end of the applicator into the powder and lightly tap off
excess.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>With the key in the other hand, apply the powder to the balance rail
bushing</DIV>
<DIV>with your thumb in-line with the mortice slot (important alignment -
you'll see).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Flip the key over and apply powder to the front rail bushing, now your
thumb</DIV>
<DIV>will be perpendicular to the mortice slot (removing powder from the
previously</DIV>
<DIV>untouched edges of the applicator). All without having to reposition the
hand</DIV>
<DIV>holding the applicator.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Then insert the applicator into the b/r hole, spin, repeat on next key.
