[CAUT] Fwd: Does V S Profelt work in reverse?

[Jim Busby]

I've never seen any "formula"  that will tighten centers, except maybe whale blubber (verdigris :-) But if Debbie says is does, I'm all ears!

Debbie?

Also am finding that it works ok on new action part centers that have 0 grams friction - hammer flanges and whippen flanges.

            This statement raised my eyebrows a bit, as it certainly doesn't make sense based on my previous experience. So I tried it this morning on four hammershanks (Abels). I didn't have any at 0 grams, but all four were at about 1 gram. I applied a drop to each side. Three hours later, all four are at 0 grams: the flange flops nicely in the breeze (hold the shank and swing the flange, and it goes back and forth a couple times). So I would strongly recommend against this application, myself.
