Thanks Debbie! I wish it had been true…

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.
