<< Dear List:
 
 I have been having problems with Protek over the past year or so. After 
 applying the solution to key bushings and vertical damper lever felt to stop 
 or prevent squeaks I find that very shortly after applications that the 
 squeak that was there becomes even more apparent and where squeaks weren't 
 present they arise. 
 
 This has caused maybe five call backs and personal embarrassment as well as 
 inconvenience on mine and my customers behalf.
 
 Has anybody else had this problem? I find that the only way to stop the 
 squeaks is to apply a huge amount of it. This is expensive, wasteful, and 
 seems unprofessional.
 
 I'm afraid to use it now. What's going on here? Is there other products that 
 some of you can recommend that work as good as Protek is supposed to work.
 
 Thanks for your feedback.

I find that with key bushings and damper rail squeeks, Elmers Slide-All with 
teflon works best.  You can get it at most hardware stores.
