In a message dated 96-08-29 11:41:17 EDT, you write: << All pins have a light coating of oxidation on the surfaces that, unless removed and polished with Flitz, will abrade the felt and cause premature wear. I have tried McLube and followed up behind someone who used that black stoff on pins and felts and I had major problems recleaning the pins. I will have to replace them as soon as I can get the time. The Flitz prevents oxidation reocurring for many years and by using a light film coating of the teflon type lubrication the wear factor between the two is reduced by a factor of five. Try this combination on you next severe wear location and observe the wear time. Have a nice weekend. Newton nhunt@rci.rutgers.edu >> I think those are good points you make about the oxidation and Flitz but what do you mean by black stuff?? I've followed up on other instances where McLube was used and not only did I not see anything black but the pins felt as smooth and polished as when I put it on (spray 444A). Could it be we have experienced different results because we live in different climates? Doug Hershberger,RPT
