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

[DCyr141833 at aol.com]

Well, just now catching up on a few days of CAUT posts.  I had tried  
putting some of the VS Profelt on some new, out of the box, 0 friction action  
parts, hoping that maybe it would save me the task of repinning.  After  
letting them sit overnite, I found they were nice, just about right - didn't  
measure.  Checked again a couple days later, and still about the  same.  So I 
figured I was on to something.  This was a couple weeks  ago, and I hadn't 
been back to check on the action since then - it's just been  sitting on the 
shelf.  So after my posting earlier this week, I pulled it  off the shelf and 
checked again.  Ooyyyyyyy!  The elves had been at  them!  Back to 0 
friction.  So, sorry for giving you all false  hope!  It doesn't work in reverse 
any more for me than it does for Fred or  anyone else!  Maybe south of the 
equator, where whirlpools go in  reverse???  :-)

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.
