Key Pin Polishing, Was: a Teflon post)

[Barbara Richmond]

Hey Terry,

I bought one of those tubes so long ago, I can't remember where I got
it--must have been at a convention.  You're talking about the one that you
load with backrail cloth, right?  I use it and like it.  It sure beats the
hard shoe-shining type work (IMO), but I still end up wiping off the pins
with a cloth and the very end of the process.  I keep the dirty (protective)
punchings in a zip lock bag, so I don't have to use new ones each time.  (I
still apply the Flitz with my fingers!)
