<DIV><BR><BR>Yes, they do run through cloth. And I'm as baffled =
as
anyone as to why lubrication doesn't seem to work on plastic when it =
has
worked practically every time with wood centers. It's happened =
on
numerous occasions with plastic, not just once or twice. =
<BR><BR>In
most situations I've seen, with wood, you can take a very tight =
center, use
CLP or some other such lube, and the center is virtually free, if only =
temporarily. Almost every plastic part I've seen that has been =
even
slightly tight has been virtually unaffected by the introduction of
lubricants. <BR><BR>Dave</FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi, Dave</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I service many Kawais for a major dealer in the =
midwest
where weather is always changing radically. So, I'm interested =
in what
others are experiencing with the plastic in the actions. When =
tight
centers are the problem, the usual procedure is to ream, but =
that is the
repair of choice for wood actions, also. I have used Protek for =
years,
but not often on Kawais for reasons stated. I don't have an =
answer for
you, just interest in the problem and hopeful someone following this =
will give
an answer.</FONT></DIV>
