[CAUT] lubing ponder

[Jeff Tanner]

I should add, that I've tried Pro-Tec and don't see what the hooplah is all about.  When humidity swells the bushings, how is adding a liquid lubricant going to solve the problem?  Solve the humidity problem.  Neither does it help with the plated pin problem described earlier.  It doesn't help with verdigris, and it doesn't help with whatever those Wurlitzer bushings had in them.  My first bottle evaporated in my car, and the second bottle lost about 1/3 to evaporation before I even took it out of the plastic (granted, I was in no hurry), so I don't know if it will be effective at all.  What's in that stuff anyway?

  Gang,
  Pondering......
  Has anyone ever considered pre-treating the pins (action not tuning)prior to repinning? 
  Perhaps just a shot of spray or putting the pin a bath.. CPL/Pro-Tec etc. before inserting. 
  May or may not have benefit for long term. Yes, some bushing is graphite enhanced but most is not.
  Looking forward to discussion pros and cons.
