It will gum up an action DAMHIK! The use of lubes, in actions, should be curtailed. Although proteck and goose juice have their places, the action will be best when all the flanges are properly pinned and are dry!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>That's an olde formula that I used to use. It came back to bite me in the toosh, so take my advice and don't use it. If you HAVE to lube something use the proven ones. For trapwork, (which works far better dry), I use VJ lube or dirivitives thereof.</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
