You mean Protek CLP. Protek makes other types of lubricant also. The stuff for centres is CLP (cleaner, lubricant, protectant - is that a word?)

I heated the hammer butt centers with a hair dryer, which freed up the hammers for about 1 hour. The questions is what do you think is the most reliable way to free up sluggish hammers without replacing center pins or parts? Should I use silicone and naptha, alcohol and methanol or install a Dammp-Chaser heater bar with a humidistat? | | Thanks, | Arthur | |
