I note that in the discussion of CPL's no one has mentioned using VMP naptha
alone and without any additives such as silicone.
I generally try naptha first before going to the next step such as Protec or
repinning and get good results in the dry climate in which I work. I keep
the naptha in a lighter fluid can which has a squirt spout on the end and
allows quite a bit of control in directing a small amount of fluid at the
flange bushing. This is best for 1 or 2 tight flanges. An entire set of
tight flanges tells me something is amiss and a simple solution might not be
available.
>3 popular products for CPL today are Protex, or alcohol mixed with water in a
>ratio of 3 to 1 or about the same as vodka, or VMP naptha mixed with silicon
>available from the Wurlitzer Piano Co. now owned by Baldwin.
