I've been using a pipe cleaner to apply the teflon. Works well and fast to apply.

The design is really perfect for this. It's about a 4" brush, very small, and the tip is a small round ball. Dip in Teflon, run through the bushing. It's the perfect size for guide rails; the ball tip passes easily through the bushing but with a good amount of friction so the tip touches everywhere on the bushing. Spin it in, spin it out. If I get a moment, I'll take a picture later and post it. > > William R.
