Hi Rex,

I use McLube, I mask off everyting I don't want to get sprayed, like the rep
lever felt and springs. I've also removed the letoff rail to better access
the jack heel which usually also needs spraying but further up should be
taped off. I use the blue tape which doesn't stick too tightly to the felt
and pull it off.

Good Luck,
Mike
