Nothing seems as good as the original graphite coating used by S&S. This original agent works through the fitting process until I get to the very last couple of passes when I've got almost a complete fit and need a couple more re-applications. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would so much appreciate hearing what you use, where you get it and how you mix & apply it.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fenton</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
